Mark my words, 10 years from now 777 Cargo will be crossing the Pacific and the Atlantic single pilot ops.
Decompression is a software fix.
Turn right, descent, send message, turn left to parallel.
That does not require any snazzy technology.

Presumably such a scheme has an FA in the cockpit JS... otherwise you're just right back to germanwings.
