If you have personally Commanded a Boeing 747 through an unplanned emergency descent, I will accept your snide criticism.
I have. Despite the sleepwalking practice, the adrenalin still flows and the lack of precise knowledge of the cause fuels the anxiety.
The crew are trained to do it in their sleep, that's why they did a good job - what's your gripe about that ?
