Really, it's that low on a regular plane? I thought it was more like 6000ft equivalent or so. 10k is high, it's like a third of the altitude they actually fly at. Edit: it's between 6000 and 8000: https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/66563/why-arent-aircraft-cabins-pressurized-to-sea-level-pressure https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/66563/why-arent... So around 8000 for the likes of the bog standard 737 and A320 and around 6000 for the cool new carbon fibre ones I guess.
