In flight surgeon training in Texas we got to take a ride (and still need
to do so periodically) in the high altitude chamber, as do all current
people on flying status. Since gases expand as the ambient pressure
decreases, we were told to simply let it go when the urge arose.

Considering we were in Texas and eating a lot of Mexican food including
beans, this produced a lot of gas.

So, at high altitude, is it appropriate to say excuse me, ignore the
flatulence, or look at the guy in the next seat with disgust, as if he
(she)were the source? What is the proper etiquette with pilots of
different gender?

In fact, how does one use a relief tube with an FO of the other gender, or
vice versa? What is the correct response in these circumstances?

These questions address important aspects of flying that simply can not be
reproduced in the sim, so any help would be appreciated.


Yeah this is all about aviation, isn't it Viperdoc.

I'm sure you have just reached a new low on a lot of lists besides just
mine.
