A crude calculation at altitude says Pdyn ~ 2.1 psi
+ about 4.4 psi static at 30,000'
=6.5
Pressure in cabin ? 8.5 psi ?
of course there is the outside air Pressure pushing inward due to a speed of several hundred miles/hour PLUS pilots being ( or supposed to being ) strapped in.

A sideswindow is another issue where pilot could be popped out ( and has happened )
