130.4:
You've been given all the answers but I have to say that your question is a very good one and I like it very much. I wonder if your thoughts are an example of "lateral thinking" (a term I still fail to grasp) but I very much think so.
In a pressurised commercial aeroplane, on an outbound leg, the crew probably did only have one choice. Then perhaps to please the passangers, they may have chosen to lie to them about the cause but it would not have worked anyway. Prooved.
Gliding makes you a different operator, but not a different pilot!
Welcome,
