From: Going to hell in a bucket, but enjoying the ride .

How about those poor SW F/O's!

Their arms must get really tired, turning those landing light switchs on and off all the way down final. Maybe that's why they fly such short, high and hot finals? No wonder they kill kittens when they get off the jet!

The mechanic who leaves the rudder pedals all the way forward, the seat all the way back, and the seatback in the full recline position for you in the morning, after he has been, ahem, "working" on the aircraft overnight.
