Dirty pilots
Whilst getting a bit of fresh air at the local drone I watched a Citation Mustang land and park up. Then the pilot got out and went for a pee out the back of the plane onto the airfield, after which he welcomed the customers on-board! Shake hands!!
I am quite sure the handling agent would have quickly taken him to the toilet if he had asked.
This isn't the first time I have seen this practice.

Yeah, I think we have all seen that. I even had a pax once who did the same (pee just behind the jet, which was equipped with a fully enclosed lavatory).
Sorry for the off topic but I have to ask: Why is it that so many English native speakers (Brits and Yanks alike) write "would of, should of, could of" Instead of would've, should've and could've or the long forms "would have, could have, should have". It hurts my eyes when I read it.

Used to do an early newspaper run to jersey on a single pilot ops flight and always had a cheeky pee behind the bonded warehouse on arrival. Not that I didn't want a proper place but getting back airside after was almost impossible at crack of sparrow o clock on a weekend!
Security, you couldn't make it up!

I can't imagine that there are too many people that can swear to have taken every pee or dump in the appropriate facilities since they were potty trained.
I don't see much difference between a pilot or long distance truck driver or even a motorist on a long journey - when ya gotta go ya gotta go. A question of necessity not necessarily standards.
Sure - if there are facilities on your aircraft then use them unless there is a very good reason not to - but surely if done discretely there are more important things to worry about in this world.

I agree. Touching a hand which might have a tiny bit of wee on it is nowhere near as bad as breathing the noxious fumes associated with biz jets, or eating the processed food snacks on board many aircraft.
Quite frankly I would also rather stand up to relieve myself than indulge in the contortions required to use the tarted up portaloo provided on Lears and Citations. I use it in flight (1 only) if required but would rather go to the FBO on landing. The grass, especially if it's dark, is not an unreasonable option.

Now now, you know when it comes to the boss, the only thing people want to shake him by is his f@<Ģing neck ))))) !

Once at a small airfield in Florida, while doing circuits at night in a PA28 at a deserted airfield, I stopped on the taxiway, shut down the engine but left all the lights on, applied the parking brake, hopped out, and did a #1 onto the grass.
(didn't stray off the tarmac for fear of scorpions / snakes / crocodiles and other nasties)
Then there are empty water bottles one uses in the cruise...

Pee is fairly hygienic stuff
Mind you, looking at the number of puddles under public urinals, maybe not.....

To those with short stacks or low manifold pressure: Please taxi forward!
Thanks in advance from the custodial staff.

Hence why I never touch free peanuts etc on a bar, they have probably had dozens of unwashed hands through them.
