Sounds like it went a lot better than same flight on my 330 LOE... Bleed ECAM at 9,000 - Capt wants to keep climbing.. I said.. "why don't we level off and figure this out" - nope! Kept climbing and got the Cabin altitude at 14K after something else failed.. well that turned into a ****show as you might imagine. We redid that one..
