SkyWest Airlines has apologized to a passenger barred from a plane's restroom by a flight attendant. James Whipple says that after repeated pleas to empty his beer-filled bladder on a recent flight, he finally found relief - with an air sickness bag. Now, the Sandy man says SkyWest has issued him an apology for his distress.

Never drink anything while you're traveling.

When you gotta go you gotta go … floor, barf bag, floor … been there (not on a plane though).

If you had my fear of flying you wouldn’t say that. ;)

Never drink anything while you're traveling.

Obviously you are not someone who travels ... on long flights it's recommended passengers and crew remain hydrated. Water works best ...

Many is the time I wish I could have “gone round the block” to relieve myself. (just having fun, not trying to push this issue). ;)

Have a great weekend!

This reminds me of a situation I was in, back in the early 90s. I was on an airborne training operation while in the Army out of Ft Bragg NC. It was July and about 95+ Degrees and our flight was being delayed several hours. We had to wait on the side of the tarmac in the hot Carolina sun for hours. Of course we had our 2 1qt canteens and our 2qt canteen to keep hydrated and they provided us with a water Buffalo to refill them if necessary. Having been properly trained on how not to become a heat casualty I was drinking and sweating profusely all afternoon. When we finally got on the Plane packed in like sardines with all our gear, we still had a 3 hour flight before Jump time. Id say about 30 minutes into the flight it hit me and it could not be denied. I grabbed one of my newly emptied canteens and filled it up and left it on the plane under my seat. I can just imagine the look on one of the flight crews or jump masters faces if they found it and decide to take a drink.

I was stationed at Bragg in'75 and remember the training. It did get hot,we were out and ran out of water, went to the mess and was given a can of orange juice to drink (could have made 20 gal. from this can),I opened it up and took a big swallow,I realized what these dudes did and looked over at them to see them laughing,so I just took another swallow,,you talk about rough..those were the days,most of my best friends were with me in the service.,I'll never forget them..Thanks for your Service..

Just got back from Las Vegas. After waiting nearly an hour and a half in the terminal (full plane too) as soon as we started boarding 50% of the plane headed to the flight bathrooms. Why can't they urinate in the terminal? Amazing. Before we even take off the bathrooms are slimed!
