Pilot flatulence at cruising altitude is a mandatory safety measure, not a punchline, revealed Spanish carrier flight attendant Barbie Bacilieri. “Pilots are prohibited from holding in their gas because the discomfort it causes can distract them,” Bacilieri said. With 2.65 million YouTube followers, she detailed how lower atmospheric pressure at 30,000 feet amplifies the volume of intestinal gas, forcing pilots to let loose for focus—searches like 'why do pilots eat different meals' and 'can pilots hold gas in cockpit' now trend alongside global airline best practices.

Building on Bacilieri’s revelation, pilots also eat different meals—one opts for chicken, the other pasta—to prevent synchronized food poisoning and potential cockpit chaos. Trending queries include 'what happens if both pilots get sick' and 'pilot health regulations.' Imagine: one pilot discreetly releasing a pressured gust while the other silently prays the pasta isn’t plotting mutiny, all while safeguarding the friendly skies. As Bacilieri puts it, “If the pilot restrains a fart… diminished concentration may affect his abilities to control the airplane.”

Danish and British researchers concluded in 2013 that the only sane solution for pilots at 30,000 feet is synchronized, unapologetic flatulence, lest cockpit silence breed bloated chaos.
