Apparently, this decompression has happened before on a commercial level as well. If the pinging is correct, this seems to make most sense. Made a turn to try to get back and didn't quite complete it before everyone passed out. Then cruising until the fuel ran out.
A major hole is how/why the flight data recorder and transponder were shut off at different times.
The apparent elevation change from cruising up to 45,000 feet and down to 5,000 feet is also a major hole in this scenario. Though, 45,000 may kill everyone who doesn't have a oxygen mask on. Can a pilot prevent oxygen masks from deploying?
