They are, but they have to lower the cabin pressure after take-off for soem reason. I don't know why though, I forget.
what makes your ears go pop is that you have pockets oif air in your ear and between your ear and nose. when the pressure is dropped the air in you ear rushes out into the atmosphese to equalise the pressure between your ears and the atmosphere. That's why it goes pop. Or at least I think that's what happens.
Anyway, I imagine the elavator would be pressurised ina different way to planes.
