FL190 = 19000 feet. 9000 feet is survivable without pressurization or oxygen masks and this wouldn’t be a problem. Unfortunately, they were 10K higher.

The Cirrus SR22T has an oxygen system. Service ceiling is 25,000 feet.

Being above 10,000’ is not, in and of itself, debilitating and pilots do that all the time in pressurized aircraft.

In my T-37 we would routinely fly at FL25, breathing O2 through the mask.

19000? Why would that little thing need to be at 19000?
