It amazes me that the FAA doesn't have some minimal requirement for lavs.
if it was a "liquid flush" head, then yes a no-go for me as well (and thanks to f/t i know which a/c are liquid vs vaccum flush
) but still a pita as if i wanted to simply wash my face, or get some coffee for my baileys, it's a schlepp to the back
to update....
somebody must be listening to someone somewhere as i just rec'd my first
unsolicited* "we're sorry" e-mail offering me:
$600 domestic e-cert
20% off worldwide
30,000 miles
decisions, decisions.....
*it has to be unsolicited as i haven't even submitted to the two "apology forms i rec'd from the purser yet (inop lavs and my inop seat)
