I can accept that, but I believe that's not a standard config. So my next question is: What are the real implications of operating pressurized bellow 10,000 ft (i.e. giving the pressurization control back to the DCPCS) regarding fuel, confort, etc
As operating in MANUAL is not a standard config, at least for most of the 737 operators, the horn would sound if you're on MANUAL at the bad TO config and if you still wanted to proceed with that setting you could easely cancel the horn with its own button, again directing the attention to the Pressurization panel.
