The seat belts (mainly the buckle) go into the hemorrhoid hole so those of us with a ball bag don't get them smashed upon sitting down. I've found 3 VORs that didn't test properly over the years. One happened to be both Cpt and FO side. Every other neurotic setting of zeros, etc. Is just that. Neurotic.

Wait, what? You mean you actually have pilots that are setting zeros in the altitude window, etc. before leaving the flight deck?

Anyways, the future LCA move is to set the altitude window to the outbound altitude, while setting every other window to zero. Then you get to touch every dial.
