Better out than in researchers say... Especially for Pilots...

Hmmm, isn't it a relief to know the big issues are getting the appropriate attention from researchers...

Perhaps JB would like to weigh in???

Farts - it's important to let rip, say researchers - The West Australian

The challenge is knowing in advance if it's a stinker or not. If the researchers can turn their attention to successfully answering that question - and get a patent on it - they'll have it made .

Or so the doctors say

Don't hold it in! Researchers say farting on planes is okay - Armchair Traveller

So do you refrain or go with the flow so to speak?

And i suppose he didn't have an ejector seat or parachute to allow him to bail???

I guess you would chalk that up to experience... And make sure you always grab the front seat in future!!!

The topic is low brow, but the writing is worse. Sounds pretty scientific when in the fact box at the bottom there's such gems as "Women's farts smell way worse than men's." And this was published?! No sympathy for the West's gradual demise. They've earned it.

'way worse'

Good scientific terminology! Regardless...journalism these days

There are times when you need those oxygen masks. Even when there is no depressurisation.

Maybe pack a portable one just in case...

Don't forget the 'crop dusting' technique. Move down the aircraft rapidly from front to back while letting it out. By the time it hits anyone you're gone.
