      If you ever have to use the oxygen masks and it smells like burning don’t worry that’s normal.

      The passenger masks use a chemical oxygen generator. Pulling on the mask starts the reaction. Deploying the masks would require the plane to be taken out of service to replace the generators and inspect the system.

      Sadly, no airline would ever let a pilot be that fun.
