Narrative:
Pilot's side window opened. Cabin depressurized. Much noise. Slowed aircraft. Communications difficulty. Following aircraft started overtaking. ZSE didn't have spacing separation because we slowed down to 210 KTS and center wanted us at 250 KTS. We didn't know that. Window popping open. Told center we could only maintain speed and that we had a pressurization problem (because of window). Center gave us a heading to fly. Should have told center sooner but it had just happened. Should have talked to center sooner. Noise from depressurizing and wind noise.

Title: CPR JET'S PLT SLIDING WINDOW COMES UNLATCHED INFLT IN DSCNT. CABIN DEPRESSURIZES. SPD DEV AS ACFT WAS SLOWED DOWN.
Narrative: PLT'S SIDE WINDOW OPENED. CABIN DEPRESSURIZED. MUCH NOISE. SLOWED ACFT. COMS DIFFICULTY. FOLLOWING ACFT STARTED OVERTAKING. ZSE DIDN'T HAVE SPACING SEPARATION BECAUSE WE SLOWED DOWN TO 210 KTS AND CTR WANTED US AT 250 KTS. WE DIDN'T KNOW THAT. WINDOW POPPING OPEN. TOLD CTR WE COULD ONLY MAINTAIN SPD AND THAT WE HAD A PRESSURIZATION PROB (BECAUSE OF WINDOW). CTR GAVE US A HDG TO FLY. SHOULD HAVE TOLD CTR SOONER BUT IT HAD JUST HAPPENED. SHOULD HAVE TALKED TO CTR SOONER. NOISE FROM DEPRESSURIZING AND WIND NOISE.
