You are the capt of a min crew on an Albert tour of the Med in the mid-80s. Your co-pilot, fresh off the OCU wearing his brand new red and black cravat, admits that he has never been to Akrotiri before. You decide to introduce the lad to a kebab and lots of Kokinelli. However, he is but a youth and not yet ready for such an adventure. The following morning it is clear to all, including the EU chap who jumps onboard to check the Eng, that young Bloggs is capable only of sitting in his seat and carrying out the simplest of tasks. After the en-route checks have been carried out you send Bloggs to the top bunk, hoping that he will be useful to you prior to the descent into Gutersloh.

Some time later, while an attractive air trafficker is sat in the RH seat, you realise that you need a pee. Do you:

a. Get the nav to wake up the co and get him back into his seat, thus losing the company of the air trafficker.

b. Cross your legs and continue to impress the air trafficker with your boundless wit and charm and hope that the pain will go away.

c. Quietly piss in your suit, while continuing to impress the air trafficker with your boundless wit and charm, knowing that the pain will go away.

d. Check that the autopilot is in beam and height modes and the Nav and Eng are happy and then quickly nip to the forward urinal, hoping that the EU Eng is onside and will not bubble you to his pilot mate at Upavon. Return to your seat and continue to impress the air trafficker with your boundless wit and charm, knowing that the pain has gone away.

Answer: You chose D. At Gut, the dastardly EU Eng does indeed bubble you and you get E Catted with the Eng and Nav (ALM down the back and unaware of incident). But, never mind, career later restored and you eventually become CFI on the OCU.
