Did not know where to post this!!!!
I just saw on FOX NEWS. Do not fly ANA Airlines they are asking people to empty your bladders before getting on your flight. They say it will save on gas. And also it will not jam up the aisles To me this awful and an out rage. I never in my life have I ever herd such a thing. So all of you ICers do not take this airlines.

I thought this sounded so bizarre, I looked it up, expecting to find a joke. It looks legit.
Here's an article from ABC News.

They obviously haven't spent any time in a ladies room at the airport. Doesn't everyone run to the bathroom before getting on a plane?Kadi

I always go right before I get on a plane. But given the limited bladder capacity of your average IC patient, I doubt we'll save them much gas even if we are going a little sooner. Doesn't it make more sense to stop giving people sodas or something?

That's so stupid! I'm sure people will email the airline with negative comments.

I don't think it's such a bad idea for most people. I have been in lines at airports and have overheard comments about waiting until they are on the plane, even a half hour before loading time. ICers would go without being asked --- but try thinking of it as a reminder to other people.
I can't wait to hear what's next --- I'm MORE outraged at having to pay to take a change of clothes along!

I just told my husband this and he says they'll be charging to go to the bathroom next!!!! He says it in humor, but who knows??
