Personal emergency oxygen systems are readily available. Maybe every airline pilot should carry one in their flight bag. http://www.avweb.com/news/aeromed/182584-1.html

One little snag is that oxygen is treated as hazardous cargo. Not sure if that would comply with the regulations. ::)
oxygen is classified as a Class 2 Hazardous Material, and federal hazmat regulations prohibit the shipment of filled oxygen cylinders by air -- even if they're tiny palm-sized 18-liter cylinders.

My bottom is classed as hazardous cargo (after a curry at any rate) and they haul it ;D
I think they'll have to look at some option like this...
