A Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-700, registration N792SW performing flight
WN-238 from Santa Ana,CA to Dallas Love,TX (USA), was enroute at FL390 about 90nm southeast of Albuquerque,NM (USA) when the crew initiated an emergency descent to 10,000 feet due to the loss of cabin pressure. The crew subsequently continued the flight to Dallas at 10,000 feet and landed safely on runway 31R about 80 minutes after leaving FL390.
A passenger reported the captain announced they were experiencing cabin pressure issues and needed to descend. The crew considered to divert to Lubbock,TX (USA) but ultimately decided to carry on to Dallas Love. The passenger oxygen masks were not deployed.
