A Jet Airways flight from Mumbai to Jaipur was forced to turn back Thursday after around 30 passengers complained of nose and ear bleeds due to low pressure in the cabin.
"The B737 aircraft, with 166 guests and 5 crew landed normally in Mumbai," Jet Airways said in a statement. "All guests were deplaned safely and taken to the terminal. First aid was administered to few guests who complained of ear pain, bleeding nose etc."
An official with the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) told CNN affiliate CNN News 18 that the crew allegedly forgot to press a button to pressurize the cabin.
"During climb, crew forgot to select bleed switch due to which cabin pressurization could not be maintained, and oxygen masks got deployed," the official said.
In the statement, Jet Airways said Flight 9W697 "made an air turn back due to loss in cabin pressure." A spokeswoman refused to confirm the claim that the crew forgot to press the button

Sounds like a cabin pressure problem.
Better than being defenestrated, I guess.
Not the kind of PR that increases butts in seats.
Fly third world airlines, get third world pilots.
I don’t think it’s the pilot’s job to press the bleed switch. I could be wrong.
Well I can promise you that it’s on SOMEBODY’S CHECK LIST!!!
(((Cabin Pressure Ping)))
I thought it was automatic unless manually switched off. Or tripped by a smoke detector, etc. But maybe you have to manually switch it to automatic?
If the bleed air was off, then the interting system probably was, as well (that is, if they bother with interting in third world countries). And anti-icing. And maybe some other systems. I don’t recall what all bleed air does these days.
If not the pilot, are you looking to the co-pilot?
During climb, crew forgot to select bleed switch
Shouldn't that be the other way around? This is all very confusing.
A Jet Airways flight from Mumbai to Jaipur was forced to turn back...
Ah see, there you go!
1. Conditioned air is distributed to: Cockpit, cargo bays and cabin? Cockpit, fwd and aft cabins? Cockpit, avionics bay and cabin? Cockpit, cabin and holds 1 and 2 only?
Correct Answer:
Cockpit, fwd and aft cabins

Fake news CNN! Hahaha
I wonder if any of this really happened?
Sure hope you’re joking.
no warning, gauge or idiot light, just mask drop?
If I remember correctly (it has been decades since I flew in a 737) the windows in a 737 are way too small to toss almost anyone but a child out of..
;-)
Thank You
Is the A321 the same Basic System as the 737 ?
(minus the snails)
Not that I see in the Posted info.
They just used the Nosebleed Sensors.
I’m not going to give commiesnewznutworks any site hits.
Two completely different aircraft but handles pretty much the same. I’ve flown jump seat in several B737’s and not as automated as the A321 IMPO.
Did they have the steak or the fish?
