Nope.
Commercial aircraft auto-deploy for loss of pressure. The ‘rubber jungle’ air masks in the cockpits CAN be put on by choice, but DO auto deploy.
A loss of pressure just wouldn’t sneak up on a commercial flight crew.
The private jet that Payne Stewart died on lacked automated safeguards.
"The cause of the uncontrolled flight and crash after the Learjet 35 apparently ran out of fuel were not known, but aviation experts speculated that the aircraft may have lost pressurization and that emergency backup systems failed as the plane's autopilot kept it in the air. Loss of pressurization above 30,000 feet would cause occupants of the aircraft to lose consciousness from oxygen deficiency in one to two minutes, the experts said."
Seems like the plane did have some sort of emergency backup. And, that the occupants would have had 60 to 120 seconds before loss of consciousness from lack of O2. Question is, was it the deployement of their O2 masks that failed?
I was on a United flight from Chicago to Spokane about 25 years ago where we lost cabin pressure at 35m’ and the O2 masks in the plane did not deploy. The pilot put the 737 in a dive and we went downhill for 15 minutes. He leveled out between 5m’-10m’ and then we eventually landed at Billings, MT. The whole fire department was on the runway when we landed. A few of us got flights out to Denver. The rest spent the night in Billings. They flew another plane in the next day. It made the national news.
