Exactly. I’m quite bewildered at the apparent train of thought of continuing climb with a fume event in the hope or chance that the checklist might fix the issue. Nobody is saying they should have initiated a rapid decent but at the very least level off to deal with the issue.

If I had to end up on oxygen at the initial part of a flight, there’s no way the aircraft is going anywhere other than back to the hangar!
