So what you count now 30K feet, is 30,000 feet from is sea level. Now add enough water to encompass the earth to what we now call 30,000 ft, and... it becomes the new SEA LEVEL! so the new 30K feet would be what we call 60K feet. So what would the conditions at the new sea level/30k feet? the same as they are now at our current sea level.
The air pressure is based on gravity and containment. So, if the atmosphere were pushed up, pressure would increase due to containment and the top layer would be pushed beyond the ability of gravity to hold it in place in which case there would be a loss of air. This loss of air would reduce the pressure until equilibrium is reached and in the end, the air pressure at 29,000 feet would be the same as it is now. However, once the waters receded, there is no additional air to replace the lost air. I guess you are saying that there was more air before the flood? Even so, the difference in height would still be an issue on maintaining proper o2 and co2 balance in all the animals including Noah and kin which would continue after the waters receded.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
