it was put there by AA to measure how long it would take for someone to start a thread on FT about it.

To my knowledge the only airline currently using the auto-eroticizer feature on its 777's is Japan Airlines.
Stupid me.. I quickly went to google to look up "auto-eroticizer 777" only to had it don on my 20 seconds later...

Better than the liquid (pee, ???) filled one on LAX-LHR last night. Not to mention, no AVOD at all for the entire plane.

Maybe it's the other end of a screw that is holding something up on the other side.

So had there been AVOD, you would have been happy to have encountered the urine? I'm struggling to see how a complaint about AVOD relates to a question about a button in the bathroom.

I'm not a big TV person, but I am addicted to that show. I was beginning to think I was the only one that struggled with all the gloryhole talk. Narrator: "Now Jack's going deeper in the gloryhole than he's ever been before." Jack Hoffman: "I'm really excited to see what we find but we're broke. It'll be a relief to get in the gloryhole today."

Oh well, NO GUTS NO GLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORY I suppose.

See what happens if you are at that spot at exactly 3:04p on Tuesday flights...

Actually, it might be a little late on odd numbered flights due to FEBO.

My guess is that it's something that prevents access to a way to open the panel without a tool, or at least get into it- that way whoever is doing security sweeps wont have to open the panel

The picture is not clear enough.

But my guess is it is a cover for a hole. AA might installed something at that spot, but no longer need it. So they put that to cover the screw hole.
