#2 I can see where an old guy with a prostate problem or someone with bladder problems might need to use the bathroom prior to take-off and frequently thereafter. Flying would not be his/her cup of tea. They do make discrete incontinence bags you can wear on your leg; one is called the "stadium pal." Flying has become a hassle and airline policies have become insufferable.

#3 Pretty sure it is a federal requirement than all passengers be seat-belted from gate to gate.

#4 Yeah I'm with Mike Rowe in all of this.

I have been in a plane where the brakes were cooked so bad everyone at backrest. Atlanta is a busy international airport, everything put on hold while a person uses the water cabinet?

39 YO DJ and poet, any guesses if alcohol is involved here? I'm not saying I don't have a bloody mary or three before flying, but an inebriated passenger not following multiple direct orders is a hazard. It is a hazard anyways.

Think this is bad, my vehicle rules are even more stringent. Most driving is what, 95% happily uneventful. That other 5% high plains squall or mud rain is not the time to learn riding discipline. Merging into the mousetrap during rush hour is no time to use the guard rail either, s'why I ask the kids well ahead of time to use the potty because it will be at least an hour before next chance.

#5 My rule for the trailing daughters, until they had reached double digits in age, was every bathroom we walked by we stopped to use, just in case.

#8 The Milwaukee-bound flight from Atlanta had been sat on the tarmac for about 30 minutes

Cause if they push off the gate, then they can claim departure time no matter how long they sit on the tarmac. Been some near revolts in the past with passengers literally sitting for hours.

Given the airlines and FAA don't want to invest in the means to efficiently handle traffic cause they want to push volume to the wall, there will be no solution. None of the players want to be told, no you can't have that many planes operating out of an airport at the same time.

#9 Spent the last 14 years of my carreer as a 40 or so a week traveler. Had this happen, I'm sorry but at my age I can't hold it for an indefinite time. Did this probably more than once without comment. Either we're not getting the whole story or Delta sucks bigly.
