Post Decompression over the sea
Hi all,

A question for airline guys.

Was just wondering how your procedures for a decompression over the Atlantic (or Pacific) look like? Descent from FL300+ to 100. And then? Go to an alternate at FL100? But fuel consumption shall be significantly higher at FL100 than 300???
