After about 1 yr in that horrible seat I realized it was better to sit in the aft jump seat and use it as an ottoman. Still, let me know when you find said relative and I'll hold 'em while you punch 'em!

Hehehe, no kidding. That seat must have been designed by someone who really hated pilots... maybe an ex-flight attendant who got involved with them?

Time for PC to retire. He said it's been 60 years since the first 727 flight. It's only 50 years.
