Unbelievable...
No kidding ... and you would think that scenario would have been an "emphasis item" in training of late.

In our fleet we had some high altitude upsets in our last profile. They were good training, IMHO. Typically the right answer is to go 2 - 4,000 feet lower, although that was not the answer the IP was necessarily looking for.
