Serious. The other seldom discussed but equally damaging effect is how we sit in the seats.
The FO sits twisted to their left, the captain to the right as we sit on the flight deck for hours in conversation.
Destabilizes the lower back and neck making them more vulnerable to injury.

Just looking for another reason to post this picture.

I just hope she's wearing underpants this time, because it got pretty ugly in practice when he dropped her on his face, twice!
Or maybe he dropped her on purpose??

You mean just like your findings of those who are dissatisfied with an ATL FO rep?

DAL bumps flight for U of FL Men's B Ball
As reported by Gizmodo
Dozens of commuters missed connections Sunday night when Delta Airlines kicked them off their Gainesville-to-Atlanta flight to accommodate the University of Florida men's hoops team.
The Gators were slated to travel for a Monday game at the University of Connecticut, but their plane was delayed for maintenance trouble, according to the Gainesville Sun. So Delta canceled the heavily booked Flight 5059 and quietly re-designated it as a charter for UF's complement of 35 players, trainers, and coaches:
A passenger who was supposed to be on the flight to Atlanta before it was canceled and did not want to be identified told The Sun passengers were told there was a mechanical difficulty, but some of them noticed the Gators basketball team boarding the plane meant for them out the window.
A Delta spokesman did not go into details about how the carrier arrived at its decision, but did say it offered the bumped passengers vouchers for future travel. Several were stuck overnight awaiting replacement flights out of the small regional airport:
People were upset as they scrambled to rearrange their travel schedules and some had to be driven to airports in Jacksonville, Orlando and Tampa to catch other flights, she said. A passenger who was moving from Salt Lake City to New Jersey was going to miss the moving truck, so he had to find someone else to meet the driver instead. A student's father had to drive her to Atlanta so she wouldn't miss an event she needed to make. Another passenger missed a funeral.
No. 15 Florida lost the game, 65-64, on a buzzer-beating jumper by No. 12 Connecticut's Shabazz Napier.
