The "Rubber Jungle" should not have deployed automatically until the Cabin altitude reached 14000'. As for the excuse that the Cabin Pressure Warning is similar to the Take-off configuration Warning,
surely the crew should be smart enough to check the Cabin Pressure before reaching 14000'. The warning would have sounded as the cabin passed 10000'.
