Wouldn't apply to commercial ops. We have to be able to cope with a depressurisation at any point on the route and be able to land somewhere with adequate fuel. If yours had been a commercial flight, there would have been plenty of divert options. I do admit though that, in your case, the camouflage and year of operation may have made a diversion to Indonesia undesirable!
