Do they have to take off their shoes, when entering the plane? As they do in most Japanese homes. I think trying to squeeze every penny of profit, out of the fuel used, is what’s really behind this “eco concern”. But they blatantly lie and make up this “saving the world” excuse for all the inconveniences they’re putting us through. Their major stockholders must be laughing all the way to the banks.

So, the next time a flight attendant gives me a wimpy half-can of soda when I really want a whole one, I’ll feel better for reducing global warming.

Flew from Fukuoka to Tokyo last week. An ANA woman walked through the waiting area and reminded people that it’s easier and more comfortable to go now than on the plane. Didn’t even realize it was about weight savings til I saw it on the net the next day. They don’t make a big deal of it.

Annoying thing is that I usual go whenever there’s a chance and the bathroom was more full than usual.

#15 Exactly. On a global scale, it doesn’t really matter where you go, as the waste still stays on the planet.

Using the can before you board the plane might cut down the aircraft weight and stinkiness, however.

This isn’t about “going green” and cutting carbon emissions. This is simple economics for the airline. Less weight means less fuel burned means more profits.

Simple as that. This is another use of the “global climate change” hysteria to make a few bucks for the executives.

#13 – If you do that you risk the chance of becoming an Enema of the State.

Enemas would further reduce the load and would have the additional benefit of eliminating any threat from the recently used (where else but in the Middle East) colon bomb technique. Of course, they’d then have to start pumping stomachs to eliminate the stomach bomb threat which would inevitably appear. But just think of the weight savings!

A pay toilet on board would automatically implement this behavior change.

I think a better solution is to simply charge passengers by the pound. When you show up, you stand on a scale with all your baggage. You pay a flat fee, plus weight, to travel. Cheap passengers will dump their “load” before getting on the scale.

I bet most people are empty anyway when they board a plane. When they are sitting on the runway for hours is where most of the sh*t comes from.

On my trips back and forth to the Vatican, I have encountered the most disgusting intestinal sculptures even before the fucking plane left the gate! Who, the fuck, would get on a plane when they are about to have a visit from an explosive Diane Rhea? Why, the fuck, can’t they do this before getting on the plane? When it is a long ass flight, no one wants to smell your doody! The only time I could even justify doing something like this is if you are pissed because they stuck you in the middle seat between a pair of 400lbs. of cellulite.

You should have seen this coming. And now, due to the ‘ass-bomber’ – what a way to get down in history – prepare for a probe before a flight.
This world has gone completely mad, bombs or pee or weight or whatever… Pick you airline with caution!
