I find this topic interesting, last year (August 2008) myself and my family were flying from Gatwick to Sanford Florida on a B767, 1 and a half hours into the flight the captain announces that due to 1 of the toilets now being out of service we were turning back to Gatwick.
Needless to say there was a load of p....d off passengers, 3 hours in the air and we ended up where we started.
So I have a few questions
1. How many toilets are on board a B767?
2. How much would it cost to keep said aircraft in the air for 3 hours?
3. The crew were then out of hours so they had to find a replacement crew, how much did that cost?
4. How much is the landing fees at Gatwick for a 767?
5. If we have any 767 pilots here, what are your SOPs for an unusable bog? (toilet for our American friends).

...and there are only 30-40 gallons of waste tank space on the average 767.
Those with knowledge of airport maintainance[sic] may know the answer. Could the problem be fear of handling human waste because of the "Flu Scare".
