Right you are, Dave. FAA Advisory Circulars state that for flight crews
operating non-pressurized A/C at 12,500' and above, oxygen is recommended
and I believe required at 15-18,000 (don't recall exactly and don't have my
AC's here). Given a week or two, I suppose you could acclimate to some
extent, though NA vehicles wouldn't, LOL.

At 12500 feet there are lot of people that might not be very
comfortable..
