Do not buy this. Just "smells fishy" for several reasons.
First of all, its NOT going to be raining at 41,000 feet, no matter how strong an updraft there is. Just flew yesterday at 41,000 and temp was ISA standard, -57. These guys were supposedly flying in -50 degree temps. Everything is frozen at -50. Even if it dropped 10-20 degrees immediately, thats -40 to -30c, and its still going to be frozen.
Hot and humid in the cockpit "all of a sudden?" Come on guys, the airplane is cold soaked on a flight of 1600 nm, and the temps in the cockpit have to react from bleed air coming from the engines, to the packs, then through the ducts all the way through the A/C. Nothing is going to happen "all of a sudden" with regards to the temps. Humidity at 41,000 feet? Thats a good one...
Last of this is that I really doubt that NorthWest Airlines is going to allow anyone to start posting things like this on the internet.
