As a 737 FO, that's a great way to stretch out and relax on a transcon if you're not quite limber enough to reach the Captain's control column.

Weird profession. We sit down, seat belt goes on. The pants actually wear because of the seat belt. You can see it below the belt line. You put a cloth napkin under the seat belt, problem solved.

Back in the day, lots of senior 727 guys did it all the time.

I get we have filthy airplanes but this reply is kinda sick. What are you in 5th grade? Pls tell me you’re not a pilot here.

the man is talking seriously about people routinely pooping/peeing their pants/menstruating onto the seat belt and then reacting defensively when people tell him how insane he sounds. I too hope he is just a troll but I'm afraid he's perfectly sincere

the whole world is covered in a thin layer of feces. I think germ phobia is mostly unhelpful.

but some things are dirtier than others. Something that rubs 1000 zippers a year and is never cleaned probably will grow some interesting bacteria

Your toothbrush, regardless of where it’s stored, will have fecal microbes growing on it. FACT proven on MythBusters. Their control was in a different room, still had poopy microbes.

But did they put a napkin over it?

It just dawned on me that the fact we’re on this poopy tangent, hopefully it isn’t an omen for UPA27 or other vacancies….
