Yes. The Min is be set entirely at their discretion.

They could set every NBCA category min to 0 then any NBCA who bid out is not backfilled

Lots of reasons...we eat with trays on our laps. So, if you drop anything, it grinds into your pants under the belt. Also, the "crotch strap"...do you want that thing actually touching your clothes? Sh!t, urine, menstrual...you get the idea. One final note...have you ever spilled water on the seatbelt? The black filth that comes off of it from all of the years of use is disgusting.

Do we have a plague of belt poopers?

I’m going to freak you out even more because I feel I can.

iv see a lot of dudes mostly on the 737 put there foot on the speed brake handle . And I saw one guy put his foot on the mouse pad for the CDU in the 787……the same shoes that walk in the lav.

Our flight decks are full of poop and pee….a napkin on your lap ain’t gona help you

Freak me out, hardly. You too must be a treat to fly with, just like the napkin wearers! I’m kidding of course…

We all do things that may seem odd to others. I’m not an alcohol wipe person myself, but if that’s someone’s gig, fine.

The point was to explain why someone might use a napkin, not to criticize one way or another.

We all see some quirky stuff. I do my best not to judge and maybe learn something too.

Makes me feel better for wiping down the flight deck as soon as I get in. People are nasty

if you would have stoped with dirty seat belt and your pants getting discolored because of the wear I wouldn’t have said a word……you lost me at poop pee and menstrual blood on the crotch strap…..that’s hole nother level of freakout suggesting our female pilots can’t keep themselves clean and our others pee and poop all over their pants……:rolleyes:

I don't think someone panicking about seat belts should be allowed to hold a 1st class medical.

Just about every surface in the airport is far dirtier.

You are entitled to your opinion. As far as suggestions, if that’s the way you read that, go ahead and try to put words in my mouth and tell me where and when to stop typing please. You’re definitely the master of all!
