Update TSB Report #A19W0134: C-GCJT, a Boeing 757-200 operated by Cargojet Airways, was conducting flight CJT919 from Calgary Intl (CYYC), AB to Covington/Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Intl (KCVG), KY. Upon reaching cruising altitude, the cabin altitude climbed at 100 per minute and the “cabin altitude” warning sounded. The flight crew declared an emergency, initiated a controlled descent, and donned oxygen masks. The aircraft returned to CYYC and landed without further incident. There were no injuries. At the time of the occurrence, the Equipment Cooling Overboard Exhaust valve was deferred by company maintenance and locked in the SMOKE (partially OPEN) position as per the MEL requirements. Upon return to CYYC, company maintenance found the value in the fully open position. The equipment overboard cooling exhaust valve failed to the full open position while in the locked out position, which created the loss of cabin pressure. The valve was replaced and tested. The aircraft was returned to service.
