I am going to confess to having been guilty of allowing select passengers to occupy the F.O.s seat in DC3's back in my younger days....this was done in cruise flight usually north bound in the high Arctic and I was careful to explain what not to touch and why......
.....I engaged in that activity for the express purpose of adding to my trap line.
By the way the F.O.s also benefited from these activities as I was one of the first to recognize the benefits of CRM and the importance of sharing the work day activities, when they had scoped out someone they fancied I allowed the F.O. to give up his seat to allow his selected prize to sit in his seat.
I hope you all don't think to badly of me for these lapses of professionalism way back in my youth?
