Before I got hired on here, one of our pilots had a little accident in the Falcon...sounds like it was quite messy They dropped the pax and he flew back home with a towel on his lap due to a lack of pants...

The Wojo Incident is a famous story at Great Lakes. One told to every new-hire in initial training as a cautionary tale. I will not tell the story as I would not do it justice. Maybe a Laker closer to the story could elaborate on the background and recount what happened to Tyler Wojo that fateful day in a Beech 1900.
The Wojo incident is why many Beech 1900 pilots now carry a plastic bag and TP with them on every flight (deemed the "Emergency Kit")

As for some of you who may not understand the Mighty Beech 1900 here is some info that will help you understand why eating "Panda Express" isn't always a good decision prior to departure.
-The Beech 1900 has no Lavatory.
-The Beech 1900 has no lockable cockpit door, during flight passengers can look up to see their two prestigious airline pilots hard at work. The only door is a thin wood door with a small latch that leaves only the space for the two pilot seats, no jumpseat, no aisleway, just cluttered working cockpit space. (Many 1900 pilots have whizzed during flight, None have done so without the other pilot seeing their junk.)
-The Beech 1900 has barf-bags but nowhere to hide to do one's business.
-The Beech 1900 has a single aisle with one seat on each end of the aisle, as a 1900 pilot you can see each and every passenger and what they are doing with a single aft-glance and vice-versa.

Hell even with a lav on the Dash...All efforts are made to contain..."physiological pressures" to avoid the walk of shame...

That's automatic beers for the crew on you....just like setting off the happy horn!

Or was is the one where the captain ended up hosing himself off on the ramp after the flight and borrowed the FOs spare pair of pants?

Now that's a real walk of shame. The FAs are bad enough when we make bad landings, immagine the cruelty they would inflict in this type of situation.

Although, I suppose that's something that the 1900 guys don't have to worry about.

The Beech 1900 has a bathroom!

Take the sick sack to the cargo compartment. That "half-moon" drops down for a reason.

I SOOOO have a story that I'd like to tell, but it's probably not appropriate for this website and rather embarrassing.

Let's just say it involved food poisoning, a long flight in the 200 (with the lav in the back), and a SERIOUS walk of shame. I wouldn't have wanted to be a passenger on that flight!
