Aa Should Remove Lavatories From Aircraft

[Hopeful]

In addition to removing galleys from the aircraft, AA should remove the lavs as well.

If they dont give the passengers any food and drink, there will be no need for lavatories!

Nah, they should put card readers on the LAV doors and have passengers pay like 5 bucks with their ticket if they want bathroom privileges. If they do, they pay in advance and slide their boarding card through the card reader and the door opens, if not, they don't get in. An excellent source of revenue.

But then, AA allows tons of luggage to get through the check points to the gates where it gets checked onto the aircraft for free - so they aren't real big on plugging the revenue holes they already have.

As you may know Fleet Svc biggest enemy is the shakey Sky Cap. A psgr comes and gives the Sky Cap a $20 and whamo 5, 100lb boxes of Chales Atlas weights go dirt cheap. I can't really blame the cap cause thats his dollars, but I can't help think my back.
Be forewarned if its heavy and it falls 4 to 5 feet, SORREEE.
Nothing they could put in that solid cast iron "hope chest" size suitcase is more valuable than my back and let me also say the fall is well tested.

Good attitude. I've heard all the ugly rumors about how AA is treating it's employees who go out on IOD now. You're pretty much screwed.

How about only having 2 lavs on domestic aircraft? [one in the front and 1 in the back.] The removal of 1 lav would allow AA to add another row of seats on that side of the MD 80 or B-737.

This would help us lose more money because AA is currently subsidizing every ticket that is sold.[sell more seats -lose more money]

Actually, there might be an argument to be made that there should be perhaps 1 lav per 50 pax....isn't that the ratio Greyhound uses? (1 lav on a 49 seater)

I shudder as a passenger to think that Greyhound would be used as a benchmark for passenger ammenities.

And, exactly which AA employees are working the checkpoints these days? Every airport I go through, the TSA is running the show as to what goes through the checkpoint. Even the person checking ids and boarding passes is no longer an AA employee.

Wrong, Tonto! A female flight attendant commented to me the other day...
"What is it with these female passengers? They will sit at the gate for 3 hours without moving a muscle, and the minute they get on the plane they have to go to the bathroom and no it can't wait until after take-off."

Whoa Tonto!!! Wait!!! You start attacking the chicks, I'll go off on the crap from the guys. 😛

Better yet, they wait till the food or beverage carts block the aisles!

2 lavs in the rear of 767's could go. The last 9 767's delivered from the factory have only 2 aft lavs. Removing those 2 lavs from the rest of the fleet would also make all 767 layouts similar. You could make a case for removing the mid lav. in 757's.

Gee, I do hope everyone realizes I was being sarcastic with this topic!

Herb only has two lavs on ALL of their 737s. So on a -300/-700, that's one per 68 1/2 pax!
