Final boarding call: empty bladders only

Japan's All Nippon Airways (ANA) is asking its passengers to go to the toilet before boarding so it can reduce aircraft weight.

The unusual request is part of an experiment by the airline to cut carbon dioxide emissions.

Japan's NHK television is reporting that ANA began the one-month experiment today on 42 international and domestic flights.

The airline will place staff near boarding gates to ask passengers waiting for flights to go and use the restroom.

ANA hopes it will reduce the weight of the aircraft and cut nearly five tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions from flights.

The airline says it may expand the trial if it is well received by passengers.

I just wonder: if you do not follow the rules are they going to chrage you for extra litre, kilos or cubic meter of gasses? :D

Perhaps they could weigh you before and after the flight, then calculate what you consumed and charge you a carbon tax if it revealed you didn't pee pre-flight.

This could all be done using the barcode tatooed on your forehead! :twisted:

I suppose it's only a matter of time.

You go to the airport now - strip off anything that "might" set off the metal detector, then walk through the detector, get frisked, get dressed again, then get pulled aside for a "random" swipe test of your person and your baggage for explosives.

Next - there will be a little cubicle with a dark curtain across the front, where you will find waiting for you a burly security guard wearing rubber gloves and equipped with a bottle of slippery stuff - to check that you have been to the bathroom and are not attempting to carry any unnecessary bodily wastes on board the aircraft. Something tells me that ex rugby league players would be eminently qualified for this job. :angel:

A major US airline found that it could save tens of millions of dollars each year in fuel if its cabin crew each lost 3kg of weight on average.

Surely someone is taking P!$$

[muddymech]

probably more to do with saveing money in having to dump the tanks, if they were that worried about the environment there would be no videos no magazines and no steel cans on board, that would save several tons.

When I flew home from the States in '98 I'd been doing a Disposal of Mines and Explosive Ordinance Course, (DMEO), and some of my Green Bags were liberally coated in C4, Semtex and other weird and wonderful brews.
Try explaining THAT to Mr "I AM SO IMPORTANT THE WORLD REVOLVES AROUND ME", swab testing dude.:(

A friend works as a Mech Eng with a company that makes big yellow machines for mining.
He was working on a bogger in a Russian mine just before flying back home to Aust.
His rucksack had been kicking around in the back of trucks with diesel and explosives, and of course down the mine with him.
Mascot Airport:
Mr Important waves the wand over him and it shrieks at full volume.
"Hey Boss, I've got a live one, what do I do?" he calls to his supervisor.
After initial panic, and lengthy explanations, confirmation phone calls etc he just made his connecting flight to Hobart.
Hobart Airport:
At the baggage carousel, the quarantine beagle sits right in-front of his suit-case, staring intently, like he had x-ray vision and could see his prize.
The penny dropped.
In the mine, he had been offered a rather grotty small apple from one of the workers with non too clean hands, and had returned thanks and pretended to eat it, but pocketed it as soon as plausible.
The offending bit of fruit had been detected in the pocket of a dank pair of overalls, 3 days or so sitting in a plastic bag in the depths of his suitcase.
How good is that dog?
Customs were happy with his story, and accepted apologies and praise for the dog graciously and he was finally on his way home.
cheers

That Beagles are awesome, we have a salami in our bag on the Spirit of Tasmania and the dog dragued the officer for about 20 mts to our bag :D
I guess that the dog say "forget the drugs here is something heaps better" :D

The office I work out of in Fremantle - we share the floor with Orica Explosives. I have heard a couple of similar stories from some of the blokes in there. They now all carry letters and identification stating who their employer is, but still get hassled on a regular basis.
