The airline(s) may be scrimping on toilet flush water, along with closer/tighter fuel loads, etc., but I would
bet the empty bladders are not gonna save much weight.
Otoh, not being Nihongi, but having worked in Japan for about 2 yrs, over 10 yrs time, the local populace is
often willing to follow the "rules", imo.

Pretty funny stuff...ain't the airlines a fun time these days?!

I can't imagine the financial savings from the decreased weight of urine offsets the increased costs of having employees telling people to go urinate.

True Statdoc,
But, if Nippon Airlines included the cutting of long finger nails, removal of unsightly, unnessary and dirty ear wax, possibly giving everyone a GI Joe hair cut and making sure all passengers had a good ol' nose blow before they boarded....................................well then you've got yourself one economical airline.

Needless to say no point asking for a drink or something to eat whilst flying with this ultra friendly airline.

....and asking passengers to go commando to reduce clothing weight

. Soon they will remove cushioned seats and put lightweight perforated plastic seats with no moving parts.

Do you know how many gallans of paint does a 747 takes?
Stripping planes of paint should be first step.
