You have to hand it to them, the free publicity that they get is priceless

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.

If you are the entrepeurial type...... I'd book a flight with a carry-on full of cheap covered plastic containers, some lap-sized squares of cloth, and offer an "alternative service"...at least for the males.

Don't blame them. Might stop drunken louts from having a skinful in the departure lounge on the way to/from the Costa del Chav/Stag weekend/chavball matches. :)

They will just pee on the floor instead. Best way to shop them is to not let them board in the first place ::)

I'm sure you don't really mean that. Those drunken louts would just take a leaf out of Ozzy's book, or even worse, try opening the cabin doors to have a pee outside. :o ;D

Ah yes the old try and open the doors in flight trick...........you have a great chance of walking on water, but makes for a good headline ;D ;D

After careful consideration I'd get a length of hose pipe and extend it under the seat of someone who was annoying me e.g. that screaming kid behind me or the fat git in front of me trying to break my kneecaps by bouncing around in his seat... then I'd use the pipe and they'd get the blame :evil

For those that didn't know, Michael O'Leary, the CEO of Ryanair was taking the piss when asked on the BBC 'how else will you charge your passengers?' ... It was taken seriously by some ... but I am sure he does not care at all .... Like expat said 'free publicity' ....

Cheap seat? I fly. Expensive seat? I buy cheap. It's why budget airlines survive (& will continue hopefully) I remember in horror the days when air fairs were literally sky high.

Flush establishment down the pan where it belongs. Consumer choice is key to our future and that comes from free enterprise and new businesses - not the establishment.  ::)
