Quote: Hey serious question from someone from the millennial age(well almost). After rotation once pitch is set I like to raise my seat up a bit so I can see out better over the nose if need be for traffic. But I don’t like it that high for takeoff. Is this a bad habit?
Sounds like you're making something simple overly complicated. It seems like most transport category aircraft recommend your line of sight be tangent to the glare shield. Why would you have your seat so low on takeoff that you can't scan for traffic once you're airborne?

Sometimes I get in the seat during a swap for a rest break with someone about my height and I feel like this guy.....
He must have one great view of the PFD - smack in front of his face, but not much else.
