- I recall the report saying they were discussing the horn at around 10,000' with company?
MCC - bugspeed post #27 refers to it. It is a mandatory part of EU pilot training - 'Multi-crew Cooperation' course. It would have given the steward several 737 sim training hours.
Edit to say that from a report they appear to have been discussing an E&EE cooling failure at 12000' with maintrol. It is worth trying to follow the erratic reports as they flow though the old thread

"The cabin altitude warning horn sounded at 12,000 feet, four minutes from takeoff. A few seconds later (09.11.50), the captain reported an air-conditioning problem and requested clearance from ATC to hold at 16,000 feet, which happens to be the maximum for APU bleed supply. "
The accident still remains a mystery to me. Has anyone seen ANY of the Canadian/Boeing or other reports (with links?)
