Jonzaro, refers to tables for time of useful consciousness of between 15 to 45 seconds, however I suspect that the data comes from very fit military pilots under the age of thirty, so I would add that factors such as age, weight, fitness and smoking in particular could adverse factor, having said that, I cant really see why the mask couldn't be donned in less than ten seconds in most situation which should be sufficient for most pilots, even at 40,000 ft. However in Concorde the time was really critical, assuming total and sudden decompression.
As for the statistics from 2Planks, Airbus v Boeing, it sort of blows out of the water that Airbus aircraft are less safe.
