Yeah, that's BS. Even in the military we don't f$ck around like that, especially when the co got 40 lbs on ya and doesn't particularly enjoy being a gear ***** anyways lol.

For all the bro sh$t I've seen, when it comes to flying everybody's on spot and does their job relying fully on the dude next to ya, cause he might keep ya honest one day, regardless of seat. I know everybody's clinging kung fu grip to their jobs but Jesus Christ man...
