So how do you know the masks weren't deployed manually?
From the links our friend put up the highest alt the aircraft got to was FL068 hardly enough for a depressurization now is it? The diff at this level would be negligable thus the aircraft would essentially be unpressurized at that point.
As you said it could have been manually deployed or perhaps the masks weren't deployed. I see from the article on the newspaper its not a quote from a RYR rep but just a journalist perhaps taking some artistic license. Has been known to happen in the past!
But hang on lets judge the crew on what's posted on pprune. As a current RYR driver I'm sick and tired of amateurs posting on here telling crew how they should have done things and slagging a company off just because of its name.
In short no apologies!
