Skiesfull - Mid atlantic their are times when we are 1.5hr flying from ANY tarmac.

I aint going to sit their for 1.5hrs wondering if it the warning is false or real having done the drill ... It I go down the back and its ablaze then ditching becomes the only option ....

I suspect the 25,000ft de-pressurisation drill is just to satisfy the certifaction requirments ... people climb Everest at >20,000ft and light fires?
