Cockpit Etiquette

[Oh-ryan]

Just cut to the chase. No need to be ashamed. My technique- extend index finger and ask the other pilot to pull.

Sit back and enjoy.

Some are so pneumatic intensive, they're powerful enough to spin the compressor!

Are you more likely to try your hardest to hold it in if you're flying with a woman?

Not in my experience.

It's much easier to deny, or pass the blame onto one of the other pilots, if you're lucky enough to still be flying an airplane with an engineer.

Not in my experience.

So you've been blasted plenty of times?

For some reason I always tend to hold it more when I fly with women. If I have to release, I do it slowly to test the strength of the odor. If it doesn't smell . . . I'm ripping them the rest of the day!!

Here's what George Carlin has to say on the matter:

So what's the cockpit etiquette on farting?

Do you just let them rip and open the gaspers to full blast in hopes he/she doesn't smell it?

Do you give a "heads up" announcement as a courtesy before you fart?

Do the rules change if you're flying with a woman instead of a man?

Are you more likely to try your hardest to hold it in if you're flying with a woman?

This is something that every pilot has to deal with at some point.... especially if they are in this job for the long haul....

and thus.... each pilot... must deal with it in his own way.....

Not in my experience.

What does that tell you?

 

[DX Rick]

This is why we make poverty wages.

Thats right. When you make it to FedEx or UPS, your farting ability diminishes.

 

[JettBoii]

How about best name for passing gas?

good to know if the apu/air cart are broken

Step 1: Adjust gasper outlet so that the airflow points directly toward the nose of the unsuspecting crew member.

Step 2: Wait. Patience is a virtue here. Allow the pressure to build and the aroma to mature, much like a fine champagne. Allowing time for additional putrification will pay off.

Step 3: Move seat back a few clicks. You will need the wiggle room when assuming the "positive pressure release position."

Step 4: The "positive pressure release position." Now lift one glut off of the seat approximately one inch in the direction of the gasper in step one. Lift the knee on the same side as if you are stretching a hamstring.

Step 5: Release the gasous burrito slowly. A slow release is preferable because it enhances the period of the noxious waves soon to be headed toward the target crew members olifactory sensors. If done correctly, this will result in the much sought after "secondary" and "tertiary gag reflex" from the target crew member.

Step 6: Enjoy the reaction. Be sure to note the exquisite nose wrinkling and eye watering evident in the victim. Next you will note an especially satisfying darting of the eyes as the evolutionary, low brain "flight" instinct takes over. If the target begins scratching at the windows in an attempt to escape, consider the maneuver performed to perfection.

Step 7: Laugh. Clean yourself up as necessary and prepare for a certian counter attack from the offended crew member.

I'd vote for best post thus far. If I had any points to give, they would be given here. May God have mercy on your fellow crew members.

I like to state during the departure briefing... "You fart, game on." That usually comes after the single engine procedure.
