Well it was stupid of the pilots to announce it the way they did.
I don’t believe for one second that the story is accurate about that part of the story.
Besides, if you have a pressurization problem, you have to “plummet”...you want to “plummet”...
The plane is required by law to be able to “plummet” to a safe altitude quickly in the event of loss of pressurization.
Yes-he should have stated that the passengers should expect a brief moment of rapid descent and not to be alarmed.
“The pilots were talking about getting down to a safe altitude.
Well it was stupid of the pilots to announce it the way they did.”
His first thought was to control the plane and keep everyone safe, not the proper wording for the warning to the passengers. If he had more time, he might have said it differently, But if I were a passenger, I’d be happy that he focused on the job, and not the proper way to word the emergency.
