Im pretty sure i would have a hard time trying to pilot the aircraft effectively if i was suffocating. RIP Capt. Jeff Haney.

It's standard practice to blame the dead pilot. It moves attention away from the shortcomings of the aircraft and its systems. The RAF have done the same thing.

I think the phrase is "Dead men can't speak" or something along those lines. Its terrible - why is it so complicated to change your air supply over? The very basic requirement for life and I bet it was buried in menus on the computer!

True. By the time you are able (IF!) to recognize hypoxia, its already way too late.

A very harsh conclusion give the (now) known issues with the F/22's Oxygen system and the fleet grounding that's caused.

Even stranger considering they are planning a redesign of the system viewtopic.php?f=287&t=52834
