Here is a question for you guys. Today I had a NWA DC9 lose pressurization over IRQ (Colliers) at FL340. The first sign I get of it is him telling me. There is traffic all over because it was fairly early and that line of TS was just to the east of ATL.
So here this guy is at FL340 SB over IRQ heading to AMG (Alma). There is traffic everywhere, including head on at 330. I start turning everyone out the way, coordinate and start getting lower a/c outta the way and giving traffic calls (most were IMC anyway).
During all this, I don't get a mode C read out. If you descend too fast, the computer thinks it's innaccurate, and doesn't display it. My question is this, would the other a/c get an RA?
BTW - He got down to 12k, got situated and continued on his way climbing back to FL220. I dunno what happened after he left our airspace.
