I’m sure someone here can speak to that. Either way, they have the ability to stand up and stretch. We really don’t. But if you think about those old PanAm clipper guys crossing oceans in essentially the same cockpit (from the plumber’s panel forward anyway) it makes me feel a little better about it. Those daffodils in le’bus aren’t really pilots anyway. Fancy pants computer operators. 😏😉
