Instagram yourself in uniform so that you can prove you were working. You also have to be sitting in the middle seat. Also, you have to stick up the appropriate finger for the seat you are sitting in. Then you have to hashtag both #MiddleSeat and #PayMeBeotch

A pilot taking selfies in the cockpit likely contributed to the crash of a small plane that killed him and his passenger last year near Denver, federal accident investigators concluded in a new report.
The National Transportation Safety Board released their full probable cause report about the May 31, 2014 crash and said that the evidence from the scene, including a GoPro camera with videos from recent flights, shows that the distraction of the pilot could have caused the crash.
This comes two months after the Federal Aviation Administration fielded questions over the safety of pilots taking pictures mid-flight after photos started flooding Instagram from the cockpits of private and commercial flights.

In all seriousness, from the 8/2013 FOU:

"If you are on the original planned DHD (not a deviation) and you are required to sit in a middle seat, please send an email to [email protected] with the PNR, seat occupied, and ID or pairing number. "
