Here goes my story told to me by Big Mikey who wanted to warn other pilots about thinking they could hold it in until you land.
First of all Mikey is about 320 lbs and is flying a Beechjet, the kind that does not have a flushable lav but just the Honey Pot. That morning he had some catering which was probably made the night before and left out.
Anyway, he starts to get that funny feeling in his gut and it is getting painful as the flight goes on. He has only 30 minutes left in the flight and thanks he can hold it in but starts to get the sweats and decides that he can’t Wait anymore and decides to do the walk of shame through the small cabin of a couple with their 2 teenage daughters on board.
As he was moving to the back everything was staring to move towards his outflow valve.
He said the small Lav didn’t have any room for him to move quickly, he was able to get his uniform pants down before it all started to come out into his underwater and blowout onto the tail of his white shirt. He says everyone in the aircraft heard the blowout. One of the passengers was just on the other side of the door not more then 12 inches where all the activity was taking place. He tried to clean up as much as he could but ended up leaving the underwear in the LAV and going commando. The stained shirt was cleaned up and tucked deep down into his pants.
He says he got out and apologized to the passengers telling them he had food poisoning and went back to the cockpit to find his FO with his O2 mask on.
He then proceeded to call off sick and finished his day early.
He tells this story to everyone just so they know that if you gotta go, just go, don’t wait until it is too late like he did. He said had he got up 5 minutes earlier it would not have been an issue but now it is another story on this thread.
