If there were pax onboard I doubt they had a presurisation
problem as FL130 would present the problem
of HYPOXIA to the average pax not used to altitude.
If it was just the crew it could of been the presurisation
issue, they would be far better suited to adapt to that type of
climate as crew are more adapted to altitude as we are
up there every day, so we adapt.
Who knows what happened though...

Pressurization most likely if you correctly heard FL130, but it could also have been FL330, just you heard the words wrong possibly.
On the unpressurized thing I have flown a B737 DBN to JNB at FL110 due to no pressurization and beter than leave the aerie in DBN with insufficient maintenance I brought it to base. 3 minutes longer flying time and 300kg more fuel...thats all.

ASAIK it was a pressurization problem. Acft was a B732.
Also skipped a hold due to fuel problems!
Cheers
PS Was i/b F140 (semi circular)
