I remember seeing a memo in the BWI crew lounge from the Chiefs (back when Bert was CP and well before he went back to the line) that said to stop putting the pedals all the way forward. It was because Maintenance was getting too many aircraft with the pedals jammed forward that were causing delays on originators. After that I just left the pedals where I had used them. As for the seat I always left fully back (even on the -200 s) so that it was easier for me to get out, but I never adjusted the height.
