How can you open the window without depressurizing.
- I once flew with a Captain (who has been 'featured' on PPrune) who upon noticing that his drain tube had got stuck in the DV window and was making an unholy noise, decided without consultation, at 14000', to open the window to remove the tube

A) it opened
b) a fair bit of a/c paperwork went out of the window
c) I suggested he shut it again PDQ
