Plastic bags are the onboard restrooms
Quote:
MIAMI – Flying a Boeing 727 around the world might sound like a dream. But pilots for a Florida air cargo company claim their job is a nightmare that includes no sick pay, shrinking wages and no place to use the bathroom on flights but a plastic bag.
Sixty-two pilots and flight engineers for Fort Lauderdale-based Amerijet International Inc. went on strike on Aug. 27. Among their demands is flushable toilets on board. Their union has been trying to negotiate a new contract the past five years.

It's like flying old airplanes in a third-world country... Travelers, at least, there aren't anyone buying tickets to fly on their planes.
