i'll just shut that damn thing and continue with our flight.
That earns a pint or two from me Sir.
I have absolutely no idea how an Airbus DV window works but for those out there that think that a presssure dump at a measly 6000 ft is a non event... try it.
Not only tried it, but have done it at 21,000 feet more times than I want to remember on annual pressurization checks on at least two types of aircraft. Basically you go to altitude, around 21,000 feet, don the masks and turn off the bleeds. Then you time how long it takes for the cabin to reach the altitude of the aircraft. Within the allotted time all is well, if not, back into maintenance.
Now
trust me on this non-pilot types, it is a hell of a lot harder on you when you
re-pressurize the damn thing back down to where the cabin should be for that altitude at maximum differential.
It was a non-event. Well except for the sap that didn't make sure the blasted DV window was closed and locked. How anybody in the cockpit missed the noise before it blew open is what I want to know.
