There is no way that the partial pressure of 100% oxygen is enough at jet cruise levels without pressure breathing. Any jet company mandating the retention of high cruise levels following a decompression of a should be shut down; they clearly have no idea of what they're doing. Turbo-prop cruise levels on the other hand would generally be viable from a pilots' hypoxia stance.
