The way I read the QRH, it suggests you should descend to 8000'. This isn't the only place the QRH is poorly written. I guess that's why we have a radio to call dispatch?
The "why" is in the engineering directive for the ferry flight....the directive also limits you to 10k and unpressurized flight. Then again you'll never see that unless you are ferrying it.
The "OH" QRH is pretty vague on the whole cracked windshield thing.
