Captain Liu had to fly at FL235,minimum safe altitude due to mountains, for 8min to get out of the moutain areas then he was able to further low the plane to the standard 3km altitude for decompression accident.
I am sure both pilots no time to play phones at cockpit or want to be a media star if you can read local report and vedio interview in Chinese. All of them refuse to be called hero and adopt a very low profile.
However, the nation and the company will willinig and ready to pay what the all the crew deserved.
