one of the things that

that needs to be addressed

and what a lot of our legacy

But I it's weird because it's

normally think about, the pilots,

is the ability to,

because often pilots will be

you know,

may extend as well, particularly

And they could be because they're

They're going to need

And we are aware through talking

surveys, that the current

equipment that is provided is not really,

helping them

Urinate in a safe way.

Often they'll have to unstrap whilst

and move about, which is really dangerous

if they could, lose control of the jet.

So we need to make sure that we provide

And unfortunately, at the moment,

deliberately so they don't have to deal

for the toilet.

And unfortunately, dehydration causes

some serious problems,

Physically, not only you more sort of,

But it sort of it

And there are some studies, links

sort of talk to you about that show quite

So it's really important for us

And Gemma's research will sort of feed

not only do you have

the lack of sort of,

but pilots don't really like talking

My, manager, refers to it

if there's a problem with the jet, pilots

But if they feel that, you know,

they will often accommodate

and find ways of working around it

And there is a certain amount of,

difficulty in talking about

sort of urination

And so our normal means

where we would find out information

So, for example,

if something's wrong with the, the engines

we would very easily find that out

But in terms of pilots, you know,

not being able to to

relieve themselves correctly, often

raised up as a, as a problem.

So hopefully with general information

and provide us with evidence, that's

this is a problem

but you need to be able to quantify it

and say, look, we need funding money,

to be able to tackle. This
