Did he say it was for 'commercial reasons'?

He said it happens regularly and I believe that is true.

I would probably land overweight in the above scenario.

Performance wise it is comfortable and legal.
We are not able to continue the flight due to a technical problem .
We are not landing for 'commercial reasons'.
We would have consulted the QRH.
If the a/c actually depressurised at height you would be on a Mayday or at least a Pan call.

In reality the above landing should be a non-event. Don't thump it in.

As usual expect to have to defend yourself if anything goes amiss!
