Why not the other chair?
Is it so the FO knows where to put the pay check?
Or is it the symbol of the FO's career, in the trash...

At my airline, the evacuation SOP is for the FO to be the first one off the airplane. With a trash bag full of old jep revisions, it makes it hard to even exit the cockpit in a civilized way.

So i ask you this, where should the trash bag go?
Why not hang it some where else such as a hook some where else in the cockpit? away from either pilots chair...

Post up your answer and any additional comments.

for example,

"The captain blew his nose with a tissue and then tossed the tissue towards the trashbag hanging on the FO side armrest, the tissue missed the bag and landed on my arm." - FML
