VA50: all toilets inoperable

[Quickstatus]

wouldn’t change the whole border force aspect of this.

Escapees Won't get far in the outback
Long drop dunnies never block or back up

The original Loo was a galv tin shed long drop

Probably With resident spiders and snakes
It's still a long drop

Sometimes there’s even a Qantas club…


That said, bush wee or no bush wee, it wouldn’t change the whole border force aspect of this.

Would I want to be one of the crew trying to stop 200 people with a full bladder forcing their way off? Confirming I would not

They don’t need to. Airport staff can escort or make other arrangements so passengers can use the facilities. We have the technology.

Access to toilets is a basic human right and even the US has this as a requirement in their tarmac delay policies.

These pax deserve more than a refund.

As a starter : free lounge access and free access to any toilets on any VA aircraft regardless of cabin on ticket - maybe 5 years??

Also 500 rolls of free toilet paper

Very optimistic to think they'll still be running in five years given track record.

When they introduced lifetime gold I thought my lifetime or airline lifetime and know which one I’d pick…

Yeah but even the remotest airport will have a Dunny or some tree or bush

Kings Canyon has bushes beside the airstrip and they are not very tall.

I think either a full refund for that flight or a free return domestic flight would be more than sufficient as an apology.
It clearly wasn't on purpose and, cough happens...
I've not once been on or heard of ALL lavs failing in VA's history.
Although I am shocked it happened on such a new aircraft (a few days old).

I think they’d at least need to throw in some new underwear and pants as well.

Also note the tail number cause there’s no way in hell I’m flying on it knowing what has transpired…

As if there were already enough reasons to avoid the max aircraft.

Why...what are your reasons?

Why...what are your reasons?

Doors and windows blowing out would rank pretty high on my list of reasons for not getting in a max.
