Flight Crew Diverted; General Declared Emergency
Aircraft; Procedure
Captain diverted aircraft due pressurization issue. Encountered emergency descent and masks dropped. Diverted and landed without incident. Was recently informed 3 POBs were used and not reported to Dispatch from Maintenance. For my involvement in the event; as far as I know; no FAR or procedure was violated during the diversion and I was not informed of POB use.
A B737-700 pressurization system malfunctioned so the crew declared an emergency and diverted. During the descent the O2 masks dropped and three personal oxygen bottles but were used but not reported to Maintenance.
