You just NEVER know what can happen.

Not good PR Shame on you AS

Very timely posting. Same thing happened on my Sunday evening flight from SMF to SFO. Same thing - 100 miles / 20 or so minutes. The gate agent was nice enough to tell us that the bathroom was out of service 15 or so minutes before we boarded. Although I don't think we ever got above 10,000 feet. Not a big deal on those puddle jumper flights. Havent been on an EMB-120 since I use to run those PDX-SEA routes. I think they only use them on the CHO-IAD routes here on the East coast.
