IF this turns out to be a drama with two unconscious pilots in a de-pressurized cockpit, that would become a very important question.
As Wiggy says, Helios lead to a change in some SOPs - certainly ours, for an apparent non-reaction to a decompression.
If this turns out to be a partial / incomplete reaction to a decompression,
and there is something feasible the CC could have done (e.g. rouse pilots), then I suspect we will see SOPs change again. But there is only so much second guessing you can expect CC to do over our job.
As I posted earlier,
if there was a complete decompression, pilots not on oxygen,
and it took 5mins or more to get below ~25K' Cabin Alt, I am afraid my limited AvMed knowledge indicates your SOP is not going to further involve the pilots
