While waiting on the ground for a half hour for bad weather to clear, I overheard the following:
Tower: “United 123 taxi into position and hold.”
United 123: “We are unable to. We have a passenger in the lavatory.”
Tower: “United 124, do you have a passenger in the lav?”
United 124: “No sir.”
Tower: “United 124, you’re up!”
Short Final…
Key Takeaways:
- A United Airlines flight (123) requested to delay taxiing due to a passenger occupying the lavatory.
- The air traffic control tower then contacted another United flight (124) to inquire about a similar situation.
- Flight 124 reported no passenger was using the lavatory.
- Consequently, Flight 124 was given clearance for takeoff.
