Exactly right.

Most are slow. Packs, outflow valves, and door seals fail routinely... that's slow.

Windows and fuselages rarely fail.

YES! I actually had a "whistler" once. A door seal that was whistling. It wasn't even enough to cause any loss of pressure. Of course we landed anyways.

The seal on the crew door on the MC-12 always wore out quick too. We used to just take our helmet bags and have the back-enders hold em up against it and womp! It would pull em into the gap and wammy, cabin px would be as good as new.

Yep, I remember when we were in school together the coach yelled at you. He said screw up one more time and he was going to stick his whistle were the sun does not shine. Apparently you screwed up one more time. 😂

Had a couple door seal whistles while flying ETOPS Hawaii to mainland. Every time it was just water in the seal at takeoff that froze at alt. No big deal....
