I’ve got to ask……is it really young pilots?

Is it ok to fart? I can't find it in the code of conduct

It was my understanding that the airflow is such that farts aren't a factor and I've been letting them rip for the whole time I've been here.

Just blame it on the fwd lav. Then when the CA calls to the back and asks if someone used it and she says no you can enjoy the awkward moments.

If you gotta ask…..oh, never mind.

I mean would you rather someone smell good or like ****? The amount of captains I fly with who wear the same shirt 4 days in a row and thus smell like dirty gym socks is a lot worse than someone wearing a little cologne, of course there are always exceptions (you can go way overboard)

In my experience the ones wearing the 4 day old shirt are the same ones attempting to cover it up with cologne. Nothing like that one-two punch to the nose.

Leave it at home not in the flight deck. If we gotta run the smoke/fumes checklist I would have to wonder is it the other guys dior #5 or is actually something burning? Would run it either way but still.. Speaking of fuel from a poster above, did some googleFu and found that you could buy jet fuel scented cologne. They even make a jet fuel scented candle.

Were you wearing New Balance shoes too? :cool:

Sanicom for the fart countermeasures. If you are dropping ass, I’m bringing out the Copenhagen Wintergreen.

Farting is one of the great biological releases in life.
Second only to the release that is being attempted by wearing the cologne. Farting is 100% guaranteed, the cologne doesn't always work.
Leave the cologne for after work, but try to save the farts for crop dusting the airport
