I’ve now become a laviator! What is that, you ask? Read this  http://ow.ly/itwc. – GamerTraveler

Thank you, GamerTraveler!  Now I don’t have to explain the whole laviator thing, because as you know, that ain’t easy!  – Heather

  

 

 Ghurl, what’s up!  I finally remembered to take my laviator picture.  The picture was taken from DFW to SAN on a 757 and yes clutch your pearls ghurl it was taken in coach lavatory –  Mark, the optometrist / wanna-be flight attendant.

You guys remember, Mark, right?  He’s the one who wrote the hilarious letter featured on the Galley Gossip blog post – How flying standby can make you religious.  Well not only am I clutching my imaginary pearls, Mark, but I do believe I’m going to need a little CPR!  I mean when are you going to learn that nonreving sucks!  I don’t care how much you pray!  Not only are you going to end up in coach (if you even get on the flight at all) you’re going to be sitting in a middle seat – that won’t recline – in the last row next to the lav.  Just buy the damn ticket next time.  Thank you.   – Heather  

 

 

The following is from Megan’s (flight attendant) blog, Through the lens…

“The paperwork was out and we were all ready to shut the door and push the aircraft as we waited on the lav “cleaners”. I watched the lady in the back working her magic on our bathroom and suggested to the crew that we just take her with us. Like the posh and upscale bars and clubs that have the bathroom attendant handing out mints and paper towels, our lav lady could give sprays of the lav spray as the passengers entered and exited. I would definitely tip her today, that is for sure!  By the time we pushed, the back half of the aircraft no longer had me gagging and the passengers seemed to be a bit more comfortable. I think I put up a good fight but this Lav had me beat. However, in the end, the lav was not the ultimate winner.  Just for that, when we switched aircrafts for our next flight and I found a clean, non-smelly lav…. i decided it was finally time to join the others in the Laviators club…

I finally laviated…  Delta DTW-ORD!! – Danita

Not only did you laviate, you look smashing doing so!  If I’m not mistaken, you’re wearing my second favorite uniform

 

 

 

 

 

 

Heading to ORD from MSP (ultimately destined for TOL, Toledo Ohio) on an AA Super 80.  Had a row to myself and got bored so I decided I should laviate.   Who knew it would take five tries to get a shot I liked…of me…in a LAVATORY!  – Tony Stork (Tm24fan)

My kids and I just completed our trip from east coast USA to Southeast Asia (Laos). I thought of your inspirational TBEX panel and took our first “Laviator” photo enroute. There are all 3 of us in the bathroom, which might be some kind of laviator record.

Dear Candice,

While you don’t officially hold the laviator record for number of people in the lav, you are tied with a Southwest crew of three for the record.   Good job!  Cute kids!  Great photo!

 My photoshop’d laviator photo! – Derek (Flyddw)

Yeah, umm, Derek, I think we need to talk.  While I did agree, reluctantly, to accept one (and only one!) official honorary photoshopped member, I’m fairly certain that those aren’t your…well…I’m sorry, but they just don’t look like your arms!   Therefore, I’m leaving it up to the group to decide.  Group, your decision please!  Is he or isn’t he a laviator?
