Though the study also says that Pilots are in a catch 22. They can hold it in and risk the safety of the passengers, or they can let it rip and cause the copilot to react and risk the safety of the passengers. I say we just put flowers in the ass holes of pilots and that will solve the problem. So flood, remember, next time you are on a flight, be sure to let one rip. It's for your own health...
