737 - 800 QRH
Condition: A PACK light illuminated indicates both primary and
standby pack controls have failed or the related pack
valve is closed due to temperature exceeding limits.
ALL TEMPERATURE
SELECTORS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . WARMER TEMPERATURE
[Reduces the work load on the affected air conditioning pack.]
TRIP RESET switch . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . PUSH
[If the PACK light illuminated as a result of the pack temperature
exceeding limits, the light extinguishes if the pack temperature has cooled
below limits.]
If one PACK light remains illuminated:
ISOLATION VALVE switch . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . CLOSE
PACK switch . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .OFF

Guys and Gals,
Thanks for the replies. I agree with JT that the QRH doesn't deal with multiple failures and the rider that the Commander can take whatever actions he / she deems necessary for the safety of the flight, however, with a new generation of pilots coming through who have little, if any experience of non - automated flight decks, is there a danger that too much reliance is being placed on the QRH now?

Bear in mind the implications of not following a QRH procedure, or varying it, if the issue comes to court.
