This for first time flyers or sight seeing or introduction flights.
Its hard to believe a professional crew would have their feet on the brakes without communicating.
Or was this one career pilot and a random day rate stranger on the right seat?
My understanding is that the crew were two older, experienced pros. Bizarre.
And even a 250 CPL would know not to ride the brakes.
But they'll probably know who was in which seat by now.
