Factors of physical health and altitude acclimatization influence time of useful consciousness. Persons who live at high altitude cities such as La Paz, Quito, Bogota, Denver, Jo'burg...etc, would have an easier time breathing at FL200. Some folks have climbed Everest without oxygen; and all Everest climbers have made base camp at 24,000 feet without oxygen.
