A damn lie.

What about the steak or the fish?

I’ve been drinking coffee on airlines since forever. Never had a related health issue.

[SpaceBar]

Sounds like something made up by a disgruntled airline employee.

I got it in first...... (lol)

So, they’re saying Airline Bathrooms are “Sh!tholes”??

[vpintheak]

Whatever

[Bob]

Isn’t this the same situation as it is in all homes? — The water that’s piped to the kitchen faucet is also used to flush the toilet. Same source, different destination.

Bacteria that Travel: The Quality of Aircraft Water

[faithhopecharity]

We’ve had some pretty awful, cheap grub served us on planes. And eight peanuts do not constitute a meal, more or less “a delicious dining experience.” . But we flew air canada a few years ago and the meals were high quality and excellent (and they even had “free seconds” of entire dinners if you could manage to consume more than one).

[bigbob]

“Stew”?

[Don W]

This comprehensive study of aircraft water shows the diverse nature of bacteria that travel. However the bacteria represented do not fall into the dangerous infectious microorganism categories, e.g., Shiga toxin producing E. coli, Legionella, and Enterococcus etc., which can inhabit water. Nevertheless, the isolated bacteria from this study have the potential to cause illness in certain sectors of the travelling population including immunocompromised individuals.

[I cannot think of a name]

Why would they single out coffee?

There is practically no part of an aircraft interior that isn't filthy these days. I'm long sleeve shirts, and avoid eating or drinking anything on the plane to the maximum extent possible.

And because of the number of miles I have - I am usually upgraded to first class. The cheapest seat on the plane in the 1970’s was cleaner than even first class is today!

First Haitians and now Planes called shitholes. How many more must suffer?

It’s the same potable water that goes through the bathroom system,” an unidentified flight attendant “for a major American airline” revealed to Vice.com.

“We recently had a test for E. coli in our water and it didn’t pass,

Then it isn't "Potable Water"

[Cincinnatus.45-70]

“Potable” means “safe to drink” in government speak. In sure that somewhere in the airline regulations it’s defined that way. So if it fails a test for e. Coli, the airline is in violation of federal airline regulations.

If this not a lie, it is misinformed dreck not worthy of publication without clarification.

[Professional Engineer]

It’s the same potable water that goes through the bathroom system

OMG! Do you mean just like indoor plumbing in the civilized world?!?!

[bgill]

I’ll drive.

[NorthMountain]

That said, sipping bottled water could lead you to use the plane’s bathrooms, which the anonymous stew called “the most disgusting places on the planet.”

Feh. Anyone who thinks that airplane lavatories are "the most disgusting" is extremely sheltered and ignorant. Or dishonest.
