Amazing. Do the toilets have flush water? Or do they do like the old railroad toilets which used to have a sign over the commode, ‘Do not flush while the train is in the station’? The old railroad toilets just had a flapper which, when opened dumped directly on the railroad track.

Separately, my condolences for the incident on Fri Aug 10.

Interesting, it didn't used to do that. But whack can dial it back first, I'm just trying to apply the rules in reasonable manner, don't need to take a bunch of crap for it.

They must not have Taco Bell's in Alaska yet.
On Castaway last night Tom Hanks fills up the sink and splashes the water in his face, how gross. I wonder if FedEx guys do that, or if those 11's were in airline service first.

Those trains are still running in Czech and Slovakia, TP and logs right there on the tracks.

Back on topic about leaving the f/A's after we land. We are all adults here that can take care of ourselves. There is no reason for the front end crew to hang around while we wait for the entire plane to deplane of we're going to hotel that has a scheduled van run.

I can understand if the van is for hire.

Airline culture must have changed. We always kept our crew together, and if the van was short of seats, we would send the F/As and wait for the next one. No problem.
