Does anyone else get gassy when they fly? I tend to notice when I have eaten something its not so bad. But if I fly on an empty stomach from wheels up to wheels down I feel like I could blow a hole in the earth. I know I could just let it loose in the cockpit but I try to be respectful to my other crewmember. I find myself looking forward to the walk around just so I can get outside and bust a$$. What am I going to do when I upgrade to Captain and this is no longer my responsibility? I may have to hold off until my indigestion settles down.
 
I used to fly with someone that would fart about once every 2,000' in the climb. She didn't get embarassed or brag about it like most men would. She would just say sorry and move on (no pun intended!).

It happens to some people. And when you are the Captain, you can be one of those cool Captains that says, "I'll get the walk around!"

Fire Away!! Bad for you to keep it all bottled up.
Don't worry about the "other guy," sometimes ya gotta just let the sumbitch have it!! Extra style points if you're all theatrical about it, and then fan it his way with an unfolded enroute chart. Of course, "the other guy" can (and should) fill up on whatever vile, disgusting cuisine he can think of on the overnights in order to adequately return fire the next day. I mean, ya gotta be sporting about it. Try not to crap your pants. Good Luck.

Do they look at you and ask if you can brush your teeth after you munch your boyfriend?

Nothing personal General, but that is hilarious...or maybe not.
 
Let er RIP! It's even better if you can get a good sounding one over the engine and wind noise!

Say what? OOOOOOOOOkay? Man alive, you are a real joker. It must make up for your looks. That's ok, though. You really come up with some great zingers.....

I was riding in the back of twin otter with 20 or so other skydivers and with the typical conventioneer diet of fast food and evening beers, It was mandatory to have bad gas.

So I dropped one and with that the whole plane was almost incited into riot. This lady was actually cussing...and I'm lauging my ass off thinking "how do you like me now, wench?"

Seriously man, the computer based training program we had as part of recurrent at my 135 job had a section on physiology that basically said (and I paraphrase) "if you feel the need to blow ass when aloft, thou shalt blow ass to proclude damage to thine asspipes."

I took SERIOUS advantage of this "regulation" in an attempt to smell worse than my passengers. For any 135 pax guys operating sans-cockpit door, I strongly reccomend lettin' 'er rip; WAIT 8 seconds; and turn around and glare at your passengers with an open-mouthed look or horror and/or dissaproval.
 
You should fart...seriously...I read somewhere that the gasses can build up and give you health problems.
