Okay good. I'd ask if the helo will be equipped with supplemental oxygen though. I would imagine it will be, and be concerned if it isn't. I think it's required above something like 14,000 for everyone in the aircraft, let alone 19,000
Looked it up, and was wrong:

And:
Most pilots don't think too much about using portable oxygen. Sure, everyone knows that you have to use supplemental oxygen if you fly more than 30 minutes at cabin pressure altitudes of 12,500 feet or higher. And that at cabin altitudes above 14,000 feet pilots must use oxygen at all times. And that above 15,000 feet each occupant of the aircraft must be provided supplemental oxygen. All of this is spelled out in Federal Aviation Regulations Part 91.211.
