"Lavatories cannot be used below 16k feet on this plane"???
Currently on AA1311 and tried to use the lav after boarding (no restroom near gate) and was told by an FA, "the lavatories on this plane don't work under 16k feet, you can't use it, there should have been an announcement at the gate." There was no announcement and I've been on plenty of 737-800s before that haven't had this restriction. Is this crew just petty and full of BS?
I don't fly American a whole lot, but have each of the past few weeks due to work trips to DFW, CLT and MIA, but I'll keep connecting through ATL or ORD and stick with DL/UA if this is SOP.
