Not that I would base a career decision over access to the crapper but....
Funny you say this... this is big for me. On the 75 now, but when I was on the 777 I'd get up every 45 minutes or so to pee or stretch. I'd drink a lot of water on those flights. I have a couple of buds at SWA and on their flights they tell me that they're either purposely dehydrating themselves before the flight or just "holding it" as long as they can in order to not have to do the whole process of opening the cockpit door.
Like you said, I wouldn't have that be my deciding factor in an airline career choice, but man, is it nice.
