Carbon Bootprint, no disagreement. The more people who know about how serious this could be, the better.
For those who believe this practice happens regularly and point to their own trips to the bathroom as "proof", that isn't the case.That gives me hope there are fewer nutters out there than some would think. Saying that, if someone is stupid enough to make that kind of threat, it is a serious matter and that person should be permanently removed from any position of responsibility.An FA who would do this has clearly lost it just as much as a Captain who would divert without a legitimate safety concern. In this event, at least one person had a brain freeze.
