3) Philly to CUN is 4 hours long.
So let me sum this up. I WAS ON (NOT PILOTING, NOT IN COMMAND, NOT EVEN IN THE COCKPIT, I WAS 12 ROWS FROM THE FRONT ON A PURCHASED TICKET) A FLIGHT TO CANCUN, WHERE GOING THROUGH 10K THEY NOTIFIED US THAT ALL LAVS WOULD BE OUT OF SERVICE FOR THE ENTIRE DURATION OF THE FLIGHT.
Can I make it any clearer or do I need to type it out in a different language for you?
So again you make a {EDIT****}of yourself by suggesting I was the one flying it and that I deserve to be furloughed because of it. Go back to whatever whole you climbed out of. Flight info?

So the REAL Answer IS?!?!? The Lavs with possibly the Vacume pump failing
WENT inop in flight. They were NOT Deferred inop Priorto dispatch.
There's a difference here because the MEL does NOT allow all the Lavs o be inop. The potable water could be inop and the lav's dry flushed.
What you're REALLY asking is whether the Flight SHOULD have diverted or turned BACK when the Lavs WENT inop!! And the answer is NO, not necessarily. That Issue is up to the Capt's discretion solely. Were He/She to divert?? I would think that's matter of available resources,
