b738 pressure

robin,
for the last time : flight altitude(not "land" altitude) set on the pressurzation panel, should never be lower than actual flt altitude. if it is, the delta pressure will eventually go up to 9.1psi, which is the safety setting of the two overpressure relief valves. the cracked window will appreciate.
