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!

So true.
When I think of some of the cockpit configurations I have inherited from previous crews, I'm convinced that some of my fellow pilots moonlight as circus midgets, while others have side jobs as NBA centers.
