United Airlines Passenger Says She Had to Pee in Cup | Health Buzz | US News

Taking this at face value...it seems if they had time to go get her a cup and then let her go dump it in the lav, they couldn't have just let her go in the first place? There comes a point when human biology isn't going to outlast widespread turbulence, etc....I was on a flight a few days ago where the seatbelt sign was on from takeoff in ONT until well east of the Rockies (about 2.5 hours).

hell I'm horrible at remembering to turn off the seat belt light. I rest easy at night knowing almost everyone ignores it anyway.

Another mess created by an express carrier. Can't get rid of them soon enough.

Short term memory? Delta just recently returned to the gate to remove a customer because he couldn't hold it either.

I get it though. It's make you feel big to bash inferior express pilots.

He's a real jet pilot, unlike the little fake wannabe jets we express guys fly. Maybe someday we'll be as cool!

I don't know what the big deal is with some flight attendants. If ya got to go, just go, you were warned if the seatbelt sign is on.

Yeah, honestly, I think the FA must say, 'stay in your seat', from a legal stand point. But yeah, I've been a pax on a flight where I just got up and went without asking even with the seat belt sign on and was never pressed by an FA.

One of those situations where, if you ask, you're gonna be told no because they can't say yes. But do what you need to do.

Was he handed a cup?? Who said I was bashing express pilots? Has nothing to do with express pilots, Mr. Jump to Conclusions.

A delta guy just punched a black lady a few days ago in the jetbridge. What regional crew did that so far? Or how have regional crews been involved in any shape or matter, they're just following procedure.
