Well, next time, read the small print for company employee reduced tickets or pay full price and not sponge a cheap ticket of a mate who works for an airline. Small print, it all comes down to the small print. Such tickets (standby employee rates) cover this eventuality. In certain circumstances you may have to give up your seat if required to a flight attendant if you are going to take the cheap employee tickets option. The toilet is nice and small, one can brace one's self rather well in an emergency ;D

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

What's he complaining about. He had the whole toilet for himself instead having it to share it with everyone else....

Crash ;)

Lucky him!!! Aside from not having a window, it's the best seat on the plane!!  You can lock the door and not be bothered, you got running water in there, and if you want to spend the entire flight with your pants off, nobody will mind!!
And when it's time to answer nature's call, you don't have to wait for the big fat guy in the aisle seat to wake up and extract himself so you can get into the aisle (at which moment of course someone else gets into the vacant loo). You're right there, ready for action.

Heck, put a window in there and I'd pay extra to make the flight on the "throne". ;D

As much as I hate to say it. The guys got a case. Not for the amount he wants but certainly a case.
He was put in harms way with no seatbelt, hit a sudden pocket of turbulence and your on the roof and back on the floor again. I'm sorry but the flight attendant should had remained in their seat uncomfortable or not.

This was not safe for the passenger. Also an uncomfortable seat doesn't mean you get a passenger's seat. How uncomfortable could the flight attendant's seat be? Were there nails sticking out from all corners?

I bet he complains about freeware airplanes too.  You got on to a booked flight for free.  Granted he wasn't expecting to spend it on the can, but at least they buckled him in for the landing.

Perfectly true. Why do you hate to say it?

How often when the fasten seat belts sign goes off do you hear "click, click, click, click, click" as people undo them. If you hit a sudden pocket of turbulence, or happen to be in/on the toilet, that seat belt is of no use hanging down the side of the seat. Chances are that this guy would have been one of those making a "click" and then still complaining, one of life's free loaders that still have the audacity to complain. As I said, read the small print of a company issued reduced rate employee ticket.
