And that is where good judgement comes in. The FA must decide if breaking sterile is warranted or not.
Let's say the guy steps into the lav 45 seconds from touchdown. At a bare minimum, if I am the FA involved, I'd probably say something like "I understand, you've GOT to go, you're sick, can't hold it.
But stay in the lav, seated, until I knock on the door." That way, you don't have a guy standing during the touchdown and rollout.
