Now that airlines have started adding wheel locks to their drink carts, less than half of flights have one accidentally fall out through the hole.
I would pick tail gunner every time.

Yeah. I need the miles.
I need the glory
They better give us comms.
Wow, has it been that long since I last flew? We didn't even have the hole, let alone the tail gunners. Once we'd hit an aircow or two we'd have swarms of them coming at us constantly, biting at the tail of the plane. Meanwhile the first set of pilots are being replaced because the lack of cow catcher just let them right in through the front windshield. Truly a terrible experience, 7/10 would fly again but only on sale.
And you can't even smoke any more.
You still can smoke on planes. It just got much more expensive.
Lots of wasted space on the tail. Could've fit a ball pit or two back there.
Why does the fighter escort waste the space on its wings?
I love diving in aviation fuel. The fuel tank seats are genuimely the most relaxing. Like an isolation tank, except you get to slosh up against the other passergers every time the aircraft makes a maneuver. nice, cozy, intimate, communal and lubey experience.
Everyone's going for the gunner seats... An I the only one whose restless legs are excited to have the opportunity to pedal?
If you pause we die
Fully honest audit of my cycling abilities: we never left the ground in the first place
I'd rather the mega-fun bumper car seats
Imagine a coast-to-coast red eye in the bumper car seats. Or a transatlantic flight. RIP anyone on a non-stop from Singapore to NYC. And that's assuming there's no turbulence...
After about an hour, someone would figure out how to get the bumper cars out of the arena and there'd be a death match by the trash hole.
I wish there were really bumper cars on planes... that would be crazy fun
If you like to fly alone and have best view, the best seat is the "lookout". It's also cozy and quiet.
Yeah it may sound like it but nobody tells the truth about them ... If u sit there u must blink They let u chose the colour red on one side and green on the other ...
