The Consumers Association are in on the act as well. I heard on the radio yesterday that, "pressurisation on aircraft which should be kept between six and eight thousand feet, has been found to be regularly in excess of eight thousand."!!!!!!. .This is in the U.K. apparently. I can't remember ever seeing over eight thousand and today the norm is six and a half to seven. More to the point with automatic controllers it is a tad difficult to change the scheduled cabin altitude (Airbus anyway!). Why oh why is this cobblers still going around? Only recently some passenger demanded to know why we had reduced the air flow in the cabin!?*@!? Probably just put down the latest exclusive report in some joke newspaper. But honestly, this is all getting a little out of hand.
