The greatest trick they ever pulled was getting us to refer to them by religion instead of national origin. Comes in handy when , for example, 19 Saudis fly airliners into the World Trade Center but you just can’t, for obvious reason, retaliate against Saudi Arabia. Brilliant, really.

It’s not like the airlines give you anything decent to eat.

But seriesly, why dont airplane lavatories have a simple, exterior, crew-operated latch door for these situations ...

The last meal I had on a plane was on an Air India flight. The food was inedible, and that's being kind. The temperature was pushing 90 degrees and my husband was having a panic attack. I prayed the entire time, particularly when we went into a death spiral over New York.
Good times.

Yeah, whatever. I think the point was clear: some basic, crew-controlled override to an occupant’s refusal or inability to exit.

3 in an airliners bathroom? Must have been pretty crowded in there, I would have locked them in and continued the flight to original destination....images of the POSs soiling themselves like the putrid pig-dogs they are. Instruct everyone to get back to their seat and fasten seat belts as severe turbulence is expected; and then make it happen. I wouldn't be surprised if a pilot could kill anyone who remained in a bathroom.

You’d think Air India would offer a decent curry!
I took some granola bars the last time I flew, before Frank was born.

Naaaah, it was the airline food...
To: Tax-chick
That’s a good idea. I was on a flight once where there was a bomb threat. It took hours for the luggage to be x-rayed and returned to the plane. The vending machines were overwhelmed and people began to get hysterical and hostile.

They may be Muslims, but I think in this case it’s more a provocation than an attack.
That said, the airline still has to treat this behavior as suspicious, which will probably delay flights, give a lot of flight attendants a black mark on the Obama FBI’s pro-Muslim flight list, etc.

Yes, that would be even better seeing the POS’s glued up against the ceiling of the BR , puking their guts out!

“If there were three people in the airplane bathroom I would think that it’s possible that they couldn’t come out, not wouldn’t. “
Reminds me of that wonderful Marx Brother’s scene in the tiny ocean-liner stateroom.
To: Tax-chick
Maybe they were all standing in the sink, trying to wash their feet.

I was pregnant, as usual, so I had to eat. I’m thinking of going to visit my parents in Florida next month, but maybe I’ll take a son and drive instead of attempting to fly. A long drive with Tom can actually be fun.

I love driving. Seeing new places is so interesting. The last time we drove to Florida, we had so much fun taking a different route, and seeing some cities we’d never seen before.
