yesterday there was a thread on FR with just this idea...can’t find it but evidently in February there was a warning sent out by the FAA about cracks and rust developing in 777’s which could lead to slow, slow decompression of the cabin which would be tough to notice even by pilots and crew...
it reference the Payne Stewart incident...tried to research here but could not find...

Nope.
Commercial aircraft auto-deploy for loss of pressure. The ‘rubber jungle’ air masks in the cockpits CAN be put on by choice, but DO auto deploy.
A loss of pressure just wouldn’t sneak up on a commercial flight crew.
The private jet that Payne Stewart died on lacked automated safeguards.

If the aircraft had a slow decompression there would still be alarms when the cabin altitude increased above a relatively low altitude, between 10 and 13 thousand feet.
