I agree, the headline is certainly in poor taste and the terminology would no doubt to lead people to link it to the GA accident.
So instead of discussing the article, lets praise the entire crew who obviously handled the situation with textbook precision. Cockpit Resource Management (CRM) in managing the resultant workload was obviously well executed and of vital importance as is the rigorous emergency training afforded to Australian cabin crews. I have no doubt that any airline in this country would have handled the incident just as efficiently.
Cabin pressure related drills would no doubt be something crews trained for with some regularity, something the passengers should be most thankful for. I don't dispute that the passengers may have been "alarmed" or "scared" but I am certain most are also "grateful" for the professional manner in which the incident was managed.
Once again, another incident successfully handled by a highly trained and efficient crew. Job well done to all involved.
