Default Has anyone seen this FO?

I’ve never seen him/her but I seem to get their plane often.

They have extremely long legs, as the rudder pedals are at the forward stop.
And their torso seems to be freakishly short because the seat is as high as it can be.

Presumably an AM flyer because I do PMs exclusively and seem to follow this person. Although I’ve never seen a person here, or anywhere in my life sans a cartoon, with the legs of Kareem and the torso of Vern Troyer.

But there must be several with these physical attributes because I can’t think of ANY other reason why a person would wind the pedals to the forward stop and place the seat as high as it would go.

I don't get it either. Seriously, just leave it in a normal seating position. Odds are very strong that the next guy will want it somewhere close to that. I don't get the rudder-pedals-to-infinity thing at all.

Not at southwest but the same thing happens at my airline. I leave the seat and pedals where I was using them. That is somewhere in the middle so there should be minimal movement between me and them

I'm 5'10" and I put the pedals pretty much all the way nose-forward. Why wouldn't you?

Same here. It’s a jet. You never use the pedals anyway so I just put them forward to the stops to get them out of the way.

Haven't seen her running around . But in all seriousness, I also just leave it where I had it as well.

If life’s such that this is a big deal you’re doing ok.

Our standard procedure is seat all the way down and back with pedals all the way forward. Helps out the big and tall people when they have to fly after a small and short person. (I’m not on a 737 though)

Met him once. He was leaving the seat all the way forward and all the way up on a Classic. Told me to call him "Iceman". Then he disappeared into the night, flag tie waving in the wind...
