What is the oxygen level of the air expected to be when flying in a pressurized cabin of a plane?

The percentage of Oxygen in the air is the same in airplane as it is outside the airplane. The only difference is the pressure levels. If the pressure drops too much then the total amount of Oxygen will be insufficient for you to breath and you will pass out. The airplane only carries oxygen for use in emergency and is dispensed in the oxygen masks of the crew and passengers. Maybe your Question is asking what the total volume of oxygen is available in a pressurized airplane. I don't know that.


Why do you let the extra oxygen bleed out of a tank?

When "bleeding" an oxygen tank, you are releasing excess pressure stored in the regulator, not the tank itself. If the excess pressure remains, it can damage the regulator, and the guage needle can get stuck, giving an inaccurate reading of how much oxygen remains in the tank.
