Oh lord, that just makes you feel better but doesn't do jack. Just like hand sanitizer is nothing more than "I want to smell like isopropyl alcohol!"

Like the guys that wipe the mask down.

#1 - you're probably going to break it.
#2 - if you've got to wear it in an emergency, you're really worried about what's on it? You're about to die, Mavis.

As George Carlin said, "Your immune system needs germs to practice on!"

I do like to wipe off the stickiness though.

I don't fancy reaching up to select direct DUNKS and having my finger slide off the remnants of someone's french fries.

Fortunately the jet's procedure is to not ever take the O2 mask out, first flight or whatever.

I didn't know I was about to die when we are above FL250 and your partner has physiological needs! I can't imagine putting that thing on your face and NOT wiping it out! I'm not a germophobe and never wipe down the cockpit but I do that.

There's much better stuff to use, but everyone gets wrapped up because there's STUFF in it. Like chemicals.

I was going to say... But @Louie1975 covered it @Derg .... I may not care about germs in an emergency, but since I have to put my mask on when the other dude or dudette leaves for the lavatorio, it's nice for it to be clean. Heck, the one I wore yesterday had so much dust on the face I needed to use a lens cleaner to see through it.

Well, most guys put it on when there is a Fed or LCA up front, most other times they just "put it on :rolleyes:". YMMV.

Don't you put the mask on every time the other pilot has to go pee? HeHe...

Whoops. I see this was already covered. My bad

This is something I would have written… almost down to the letter.

THAT'S some scary shizzle!

Such is life.

Although such tomfoolery is a very small minority of what I handle, truthfully, the extreme cases always stick out in my mind. The majority is "man, I need to improve this by about 3% next time, any ideas" or "why in the bleep did it do that?"
