The Aircraft has many small holes, most we try to patch. Pressurization of an aircraft isn't about regulating the air going in, it's about the air going out. You can't increase the flow of air into the cabin, only regulate what goes out. It's about volume.

Thanks. But you've still got a fixed quantity of air that has to get out through the leak. Wouldn't it take longer to get through a small leak than a big one? I'm just wondering how decompression could occur fast enough so that the crew couldn't respond in time, and not leave anything visible to the fighter pilots.
