Another gas question
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. |

What is the proper etiquette with pilots of different gender? I took a chamber flight in Texas, about 25 years ago. I don't remember how many were in the chamber, must have been at least a dozen. I also remember the admonition to just let it go. But we we're all wearing helmets and masks, I don't recall noticing if anyone really ripped one. Unless the culprit was left sitting in a cloud of blue gas or something similar how would we? |

What is the proper etiquette with pilots of different gender? Well, one guy I used to fly with challenged me to guess what he had eaten for dinnner the night before based on the smell. Does that count? In actual fact, in my type of flying, you don't really fart all that much more than you would on the deck. It'd be different with higher rates of climb in the cabin, but we seldom do more than about 350 fpm. 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? The girls are better at holding it in. They just don't go! When I had to go with a female FO I just got her to turn away..

My first course of action is to blame the family pet but since he is not always available I usually go with B. look at my partner with disgust. That doesn't always work if there are only two of us though! -- *H. Allen Smith* WACO - We are all here, because we are not all there. |

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. |

Besides, who cares about where anyone is on your list- did you ever finish the third grade? It's hard to tell based upon your posts. |

Hey, it's your lame assed non related post. I thought you were bitching to see more discussion on aviation. It's beginning to look like your hear for the same reason as Dumley, everyone else around you has stopped listening to your war stories, and your ego just can't take it, so we have to listen to your bull****. What's in a name like Viperdoc any way. Hey everybody, I'm a jet pilot and a doctor!!!!!!! Yep! Beginning to sound a lot like Dumley. |

Mick- still pretty weak, although it looks like you're at least trying to
use that elementary school education to the best of your limited ability. Perhaps with some remedial work you might make it to the fifth grade. |
