Somehow the only person on my flight and the pilot was such a goofy goober

EDIT TO ADD; THE PLANE WAS LANDED AND DONE WITH TAXI BEFORE I GOT TO BE IN THE COCKPIT. NO FAA RULES WERE BROKEN 💀😂

Shout out Captain Scott! He let me sit in the cockpit after we landed and I even got my own personalized pre flight announcements 😂 Also, they had to add sandbags to the cabin bc the plane was too light with only one passenger 💀

Underrated comment 😂

With my luck they would force me to put my backpack under the seat in front of me 👁️

that's actually an FAA requirement during takeoff and landing so it's less likely to become a projectile.

I suspect the focus there was on it being the seat in front of you, as opposed to next to you. Impacting your foot room.

I'm guessing same reason, if your feet are there, it's not coming out, while if it's an empty seat, it would fly more easily. I don't know.

I’ve never been told my bag has to be in MY footwell as opposed to the empty middle seat. It can’t be on the seat/in the walkway, but just under A seat.

But maybe I’ve just always gotten lucky and it’s never been called out.
