Usa Jet

[big dog1]

Just wondering if the DA-20 and thier DC-9 have restrooms?

Does it really matter that much? If they don't whats the big deal just carry an extra gatorade or juice bottle with you.

This thread got me...

I used to fly at USA Jet. I got hired way back when it was Active Aero.

I don't know if they still do, but for a time, captains had to buy there own jepp charts. It was common for guys to buy 30 or 40 gallon tupperware bins to put their charts in. They worked well because they were waterproof & when you loaded cargo you could put the bin underneath the airplane.

Just about this time of year in 1996, there was an FO who just upgraded but didn't have his charts yet. Since I was going on vacation, he asked if he could borrow mine. Sure, not a problem.

Two weeks later, after I got my charts back, I was on a trip. I opened up the tupperware bin & there was a stick-up air freshener stuck to the top! This seemed odd to me.

Long story short, this guy had a digestive emergency & took a DUMP in my chart case!!!!! He washed it out & stuck an air freshener in it! I ended up insisting that he buy me a new tupperware bin.

If you were around USA Jet back then, this guy was also know as Happy boy (for obvious reasons), or Cement Head. (This name was given to him by Eric, who was a crew scheduler. Before they remodled, there was an air duct that ran just above the scheduling counter... this guy was jumping up to see something behind the counter & put a big dent in the air duct... hence the name cement head.

I was also flying with a guy once who went in back and used a big gulp cup... talk about good aim.


So, yes there is a bathroom in the Falcons. When I was there, there were also the portable type pottys in the DC-9's. Nobody used them because then you had to clean them.
