“If your airplane had an inflight fire at altitude, would you want oxygen deployed?”

If I make delete your term ‘deployed’ and replace it with ‘don’, then the answer is yes.

Every jet I’ve flown says that for a cockpit or cabin fire, the first thing you do is put on smoke goggles and don the oxygen mask.

For the flight crew, of course, but for everyone else? Especially if that system could be the one causing problems?

I personally don't know, just am asking questions.

I don't know how things are separated and isolated on that a/c.

Otoh, a fight, leading to a zoom climb to FL450 and then to a stall and fall to recovery is certainly possible, if that reported flight data is true.

It's all just speculation.
