They go before their flight
Suction toilets.As a follow up, how do astronauts poop when it doesn't drop while in the space station?
What is your callsign and the story behind it?This. I once saw a video where a former fighter pilot discussed it. He said he was once on a training flight and got that "gotta go now" urge, so he had to break off the training mission to return to base.
When I was growing up, I wanted to be a fighter pilot and my step-dad (who was a crewmember on a military cargo plane), tried to convince me that air mobility was the way to go. Room to stand up and walk around, a real bathroom, stay in nice hotels and visit cool places. Fighter pilots, he said, go to the desert and live in tents for their deployments. In hindsight, he was right. Fighter pilots get the glory, but cargo is the "good life" so to speak.

I commissioned into the AF, but didn't become a military pilot. I used the GI Bill after I got out to do civilian flight training and now I'm a corporate pilot.What is your callsign and the story behind it?
