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.

For single pilot, they need to automate that, if the cabin pressure drops and nobody does anything then descend to 10K/Grid MORA. Not hard to do, but will take time and money to certify and install.

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