Pilot seats on modern jet airliners have electronic controls for forward and aft movement, and for height adjustment, should the electronics fail, these adjustments can be accomplished manually.

Other adjustments like arm rest, lumbar and recline are controlled manually, so unless there is some catastrophic failure, the pilot seat itself is never an issue.
