I Have To Pee!!!

[banned username 2]

Hey if you got to go, go. But man I've had someone take a "Steamer" and I seriously considered dropping the O2 masks for "passenger comfort", I was already on O2!

That poor dude was so embarrassed! The boss's eyes were watering and he asked, "Is he going to be alright?"

I'm still laughing at that incident 8 years ago!

To make matters worse, he ran out of TP!!!!!!!!!!!!! He ended up using his undershirt!

Poor guy!

Oh YUCK!

We are fortunate as our outflow valves are at the rear... So the pax could be eating their filet mignon and you could be "takin' care of business" and they won't have a clue what you are doing...

Pun intended?

Hahahaha... well I guess that has more than one accurate meaning!

allright guys,

that is all fine and dandy, but when you are fllying a lear 35 back from Seattle after just eating lunch and then nature calls. try getting any privacy in a lear 35. Part of the perception is the type of plane you fly. A lear 35 is no place to be "taking care of business". You guys are talking about BBJ, Falcon 900 and the like.

I agree... when I was flying Lear 35's I did everything within my power to not use the "Honey Pot"... Couldn't get any privacy in there anyhow...

This reminds me of a story where the FO pulls out a Wall Street Journal during long-range cruise, to which the Captains clears his throat and gives the guy a dirty look. The FO puts his newspaper away, pulls out the FOM and proceeds to to quiz the Captain on Abnormals/Emergencies. After a few minutes of this, the Captain says: "Didn't you have a newspaper to read?"

Cheers,

limit the coffee and coke
drink lots of water
pee when necessary...

I couldn't imagine flying with such a crusty old prik who wouldn't suggest drinking and using the crapper......unreal....hopefully these folks are slowly diappearing....out on eave due to kidney stones...

The pilot I was flying with on that Hawker is only 27 years old. Not an old fart at all. Using the Lav in a large corporate jet such as the Gulfstream, Challenger, Falcon 900, BBJ, or even the super mid like the G-200 does not seem to be a problem.

It is longer range mid-size jets like the Hawker, Astra, Citation X, where to get to the lav, you need to squeeze down the isle. Again, while I do not think it is unreasonable to limit the use of the lav to only when necessary, to intentionally not drink fluids or hold it till it hurts is just wrong.

Try using the lav in a C500 series (forget the XL) Citation. Unless you're only 4'6" tall, you're in trouble. Otherwise you'll either throw your back out contorting or come out with a very wet leg! However, when nature calls and there is no holding on, if you're good, you can stand on your knees, wrap your foot through the cargo net for balance, lean one elbow against the bulkhead for the occassional turbulence and maybe squeeze out enough to get your to your destination!

Great, now I have to pee.

Whenever I'm flying with a new guy and they have to go pee, the d@mn airplane for some unknown reason always jolts. I can't explain it, it's not like I'm touching anything

I can certainly sympathize with this plight flying the Hawkers. The thing can do the 5 hour flight thing, but unfortunately being a water drinker, my bladder cannot...

Like most Hawkers configured for 8 passengers things can get really cramped in a hurry. We'll routinely blast-off for these 5 hr. flights with eight pax. and their baggs for a trip. Their bags take up the entire closet area, they all want their brief cases back with them which end up in the aisle as the flight progresses setting up a nice hop-scotch course enroute to the lav that's almost impossible to enter because of the three passengers sitting on the couch. This all forces you to have the private conversation with yourself whether it's worth it or not... This because the pax all give you "the look". Like you should be some super-human. Somehow they seem to forget how they have all had to visit the lav and somehow the pilots should have a bladder that's so huge it occupies your entire chest cavity.

Gee whiz, it sure would be nice to fly a Falcon 900, 2000, a G-IV, Global, etc... Anything that would make this plight go away.

In conclusion... I've reasoned that NOONE, let me repeat NOONE, gets in between me and the lav when the bladder comes calling. Don't let anyone make you think just because your a pilot that you should somehow have the aux. bladder tank installed... There's no shame in taking "The Walk..."
