No mask above FL250?

Note that the rule, as published, states that it only applies to Part 121 operations.

This rule applies only to 121 operations. The FAA has not considered the appropriateness of the rule for operations other than those conducted under Part 121 because of insufficient data.

THe FAA has rescinded this rule change. The restriction is still above FL250, not FL350. When they announced the rule change last fall, the FAA said that they were bypassing the normal comment procedures because they did not anticipate any negative comments. They also said that if there were negative comments, the would rescind the change. There were negative comments from the NTSB and the IBT so the FAA has rescinded the rule change.

Those who fly 121 above these altitudes, do you ALWAYS put the mask on with one pilot seat vacant?
