Question Taboo and Crude, but genuine question...

This could happen at any time... in any situation, and probably has affected all of us. Diarrhea.

What if you are at the Diner nearest your motel having breakfast with your crew just before you leave for the day... And all of the sudden...

Or what if you are at the airport already, and about 5 minutes from push back and then it hits you there?

I'm sure this has happened. Do they just delay the flight? Do you TRY to hold it until you flip on the AP?


Also what about bad gas? I assume if you know the other pilot real well, you just rip one and laugh about it... but what if it's a woman, or someone you don't know? Do you step out of the cockpit every 5 minutes to go blow up the lav?


Any true insight would be appreciated... lol

Don't have the required experience to comment on the dreaded gravy pants. I can tell you from experience, the seats up front MUST have been specifically designed to absorb most of the worst you can brew. Now, if you could somehow HARNESS that power, our current energy needs would be solved...

Imagine being strapped in to a single seat jet with all of your flight gear on when it hits. I've heard some interesting stories of helmet bag toilets over Iraq.

Unfortunatley, this happened to me just last week. Micky D's at DEN is dreadful. Fortunatley I have a bathroom on the E120. But the passengers were not happy when I walked out of the lav with the newspaper tucked under my arm!

Had a former squadron mate RTB early over Iraq, hour 2 of a 5 or 6 hour vul. Didn't make it off the flight line and was met at the plane with a trash bag. Needless to say, he got a new callsign when we got back to the States.
