The 787 pilot seat can be moved electrically by 2 distinct switches. One is located on the usual place, down near your hip. It is located on the side of the seat adjacent to the pedestal. (Boeing terminology: aisle stand)
The other switch, is located on TOP of the seat back, in the middle. Just behind the head rest. This switch is meant to make it easier to move the seat back, so you can get in more easily.
This second switch is new to me. I have been flying boeings for 29 years now, and this was the first time that I saw this second switch. 777, 747, 767 and obviously also the 737 all do not have this feature.
It is now possible for “others” who are not in the seat, to easily operate the seat electrically.
