Need to take a leak--fly a B1900

[pilotmyf]

Must all 1900 pilots not drink coffee?????

 

[xjlifer]

I got mucho hours in a sewer pipe (sa227) and I think you just build up a tolerance....Or ya pee in a sick sack......I never did..I swear!

 

[satpak77]

drink your gatorade then re-fill it shortly thereafter

 

[Steveair]

Sporty's sells the little John... and for the ladies there's the lady J

 

[Kream926]

[FN FAL]

Ahhhh...recycling. Social conscience with a purpose. I like it.

YEEEAAAAHHHHH!!

 

[pilotkppsg]

whhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

 

[73belair]

I'm sorry... but the props have nothing on the CRJ200. Granted we have a lav, but its such a pain in the As$ that for the most part it doesn't happen. We will go over 2 hrs with no break! The 700 is better with a lav up front.

 

[FurloughedAgain]

I remember thinking that Pittsburgh to Lancaster or London, ON in a Jetstream was cruel and unusual punishment.

Nothing compared to 3 hours in a Learjet though.

Sure the lav is in the back on the RJ, the DC9, the Dornier... and nobody wants to take the "walk of shame". But mentally you know that it is there if you HAVE to. And that's huge.

Knowing that there's no place to go should nature call -- well, lets just say I carry a bottle of immodium with me just-in-case. lol

As far as peeing? I drink a bottle of water 30 minutes out and I stay away from coffee!

 

[NEDude]

Oh the bane of my existence.

Carry a big empty bottle, and DON'T empty it by ingesting the contents.

 

[ManChild]

I've always heard that ibuprofen acts like an anti-diuretic. I guess it makes the body release some hormone that keeps you from having to go. Take some half hour before the flight. Seems to work.

 

[Sphrynxlla]

ive done a couple of 6.0 's in Lear 36's..... no pody seat either....

 

[Vladimir Lenin]

no cofee and no burrrrrritos either
could prove explosive and no lil jon or lil jane gonna help

I second that one. In the 200 you have to do the walk of shame all they way to the back!!

 

[Cardinal]

Drink all the water you can stand, but cease completely 1:00 prior to departure. Pee :30 prior. Then you can drink whatever ya feel like enroute, and comfortably accomplish 1:45 legs, which include the vast majority of Mighty Beech flying. Any longer and it's gonna suck.

 

[Guitar Guy]

I would always take a leak just prior to walking outside to the mighty 1900. And I'd usually carry a cup of chai (tea) with me that I'd sip on throughout the flight. I never, thank goodness, had a problem doing that. I did fly once with a guy who did have to use the Gatorade bottle.

But I always told new guys and gals to never pass up the opportunity to use the "facilities" because a 90-minute turn could become a 3-hour or more flight if you couldn't get into your destination and had to return.

 

[cforst513]

I second that one. In the 200 you have to do the walk of shame all they way to the back!!

OH MY GODDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!! WHO'S FLYING THE PLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANE?!?!?

 

[ceo_of_the_sofa]

Is there a cockpit shade or a door in the 1900?

 

[chperplt]

Is there a cockpit shade or a door in the 1900?

Depends on the operator. Some use a balsa wood door and others use a curtain.

 

[Cardinal]

Seriously, it's balsa? I gave Beech the benefit of the doubt and assumed it was a foam/composite sandwich...

 

[Towelie]

I second that one. In the 200 you have to do the walk of shame all they way to the back!!

What's worse: Doing the "walk of shame" or punching a grumpy in your pants?

Planes with lavs, no matter where it's located, always trump those without.

 

[711-24-7]

Times like this I am so glad that I am an ATR driver. There is huge cargo compartment between the flightdeck door and the door seperating cargo compartment and pax. You can fill up a Gatorade bottle standing up in privacy.

 

[crashpad]

I swear I almost did'nt make it to Denver in a Mesa 1900. At the gate I jumped out of the plane and ran to the nearest Air Wisco Bachasuarus.

 

[PropsR4Boats]

ERJ best lavs ing the Rj/Tprop community. I can stand up.

 

[FlyChicaga]

Like I always say, God gives you a big d*ck or a big bladder, but not both. I manage to break out this little fact every time I break the seal on the overnight.

I don't mind the walk of shame on the ERJ. Gives me an opportunity to scope out the chica spring breakers. Because we all know that the double-wide F/A standing in front of the door blocks that chance on boarding and de-planing.

 

[blue_side_up]

How the heLL do you do 6.0 in a learjet? Bull!
