I believe it varies with airline, and how stingy they are trying to be. They
used to pressurize to 8000 feet, but I believe many only go to 15000 feet
today.
I'm not a pilot (yet), but the pressure changes used to cause me severe
discomfort when traveling so I used to ask about cabin pressure. Now, I've
both got the inner ear problem solved, and switched to a job that doesn't
require gallivanting about the world <g>
