Yes it certainly is perplexing. Fire/smoke is obviously a critical situation with a depressurisation at high flight levels but these guys would have practiced this in most sim sessions. We do emergency descents in every sim session so you become quite proficient in systems knowledge and procedures. In real life though this can be challenging as the fight and flight instinct kicks in with the possibility of the debilitating startle effect. Ive seen it in the sim so it can happen.

The experience of this guy I think is telling. He was also a check captain so would be used to putting aircraft is all sorts of emergencies and configurations in and out of the sim. I was talking to a guy who used to fly with him at MA, and he said he was a very professional and capable captain. I hope one day the mystery will be solved and the wreckage recovered, but I only see one scenario with this .
