I did read it, but I did just go back and read it again properly. I had realised there was a delay on the ground, but missed the 2nd one, after starting to taxi. From a pax perspective, the problem would have been the aircraft stopping again after starting to taxi.I appreciate the feeling of needing a wee, have been very heavily pregnant, twice..However once that pax undoes the seatbelt and walks, while the seatbelt sign is lit, the cabin crew member has no choice but to inform senior cc, that the aircraft is not secure for take-off. It's not a punishment, or a power trip, just our job. I wonder sometimes reading these posts, that pax want us 2 be over zealous in some parts of our job, but not bother with other aspects. And I have been cc in this situation many times, and I will be the first to say, it's not what you say but how you say it, and i'm talking about crew here, but the cc did the right thing, but maybe never thought it would come to going back to stand and off loading the pax.
Very unlucky for the pax.
by the way my two young kids spent 5hrs in the car without a wee....
