B757 CAPT DECIDES TO CONTINUE APCH AND LAND WITH AN AIRSICK PAX IN THE LAVATORY DUE TO MODERATE TO HVY TURB.

Narrative

WE WERE ENRTE FROM MCI TO ATL WITH A VERY POOR RIDE. FLT ATTENDANTS RPTED A PAX WAS EXTREMELY AIRSICK AND WAS IN THE LAVATORY. AS WE BEGAN OUR APCH INTO ATL; DSNDING THROUGH 5000 FT MSL; ABOUT 15-20 MI OUT FROM ATL; OUR FLT ATTENDANTS RPTED PAX STILL IN LAVATORY. FLT ATTENDANTS RPTED PAX WAS UNABLE TO EXIT LAVATORY DUE TO INTENSITY OF HIS AIRSICKNESS. I BRIEFED CAPT ON SIT. HE FELT BEST COURSE OF ACTION WAS TO CONTINUE APCH AND LNDG WITH PAX IN LAVATORY. I WAS NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THIS AND SUGGESTED WE BREAK OFF APCH TO FURTHER EVALUATE OUR OPTIONS. THE CAPT FELT WE HAD NO OTHER OPTIONS DUE TO THE FACT THE INDIVIDUAL WAS UNABLE AND UNWILLING TO EXIT LAVATORY. I AGAIN EXPRESSED MY DISCOMFORT WITH THIS SIT BUT COULD NOT COME UP WITH ANY ALTERNATIVES THAT MADE ANY SENSE IN THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT. WE LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT WITH PAX IN LAVATORY. PAX WAS ASSISTED OFF ACFT AFTER ALL OTHER PAX WERE DEPLANED. IN LATER DISCUSSION WITH MY CAPT; HE FELT IT WAS A GREATER SAFETY ISSUE TO TRY TO MOVE THIS PAX (WITH FLT ATTENDANTS OR OTHER PAX) IN THE VERY TURBULENT FLT CONDITIONS; THAN TO LEAVE HIM IN THE LAVATORY.
