or if you are riding in the back, you could pop the psu open break off the bag and mask and suck on the tube for o2.

And how are you going to "pop" the psu open? Have you ever seen the latches on the psu doors? All you are going to do is hyper ventilate and pass out attempting this.

All the oxygen generators are going to do is sustain life from the higher altitudes down to about 14,500. Thats all they were designed to do.

You're best bet is to grab one of the flight attendants walk around bottles, they have about 1800 psi in them.

Yeah, pressing a paperclip into that little hole must be exhausting!

Or you could use a bobby pin.

Out here,

In space?"

Thanks for the responses guys. Heard all of that stuff as well. A guy in the crashpad got chewed out at his last checkride because check airman insisted that you should put out masks in the event of cabin smoke to "at least give the passengers a chance". Apparently the check airman even got a little personal.

Just goes to show that being a check airman doesn't always mean you know what you are talking about.

When I worked for a commuter airline, (a 1900 so the pax can see the cockpit) they had a smoke incident around rotation, pilots put on the masks and did an immediate return. After they landed the passenger said he was going to sue, "Because the pilots tried to kill him by not giving him oxygen, after all they were wearing their masks. They never could convince the passenger that it would have made the situation worse."
