SkyWest is now saying there was no cabin depressurization issue at all.

Rather the flight was diverted after a passenger got sick. The pilots thought they had a pressurization problem but it was a false alarm.

Plane diverted to Buffalo after passenger becomes ill

Vertical profile from FlightAware:



ADS-B data shows about 7,000 fpm initial descent.
