Really??
The cabin portable oxy bottles are not of the same standard as the flight crew fixed masks and may not provide enough Oxygen under the ambient conditions or keep smoke out of your lungs.. Not to mention you wouldn't have goggles on the portable mask. Airbus and Boeing fit the Eros Masks for a reason in the cockpit chaps....so using the portable masks from the cabin might make you feel better before any event but will probably kill you in the end....
This crew did what I would do.
Well done to them.
