Sounds like they where landing. Hence she had to sit as well. The guy probably could have waited till he was in the airport.

    He definitely could’ve waited. The flight was a regional trip and only an hour long.

    I bet he does it for the thrill. If he gets off on the publicity of the act and having other passengers be captive around him, then an airport bathroom would have defeated the purpose. He wanted his fellow passengers to witness what he did, like a flasher or exhibitionist.

    Definitely. Probably some needs attention or needs people to see him. Isn't this the issue Louie C.K. had with flashing other female comedians? It's sexual assault whatever it was. Hope the women Is getting better help now.
