Why does the pilot sit at the front? And does it matter? Or: what you see isn’t what you get, necessarily

Abstract

Investigates the reasoning behind why a passenger pilot, for instance, sits at the front of the plane, showing why the answer to this is not as obvious as it may seem. Uses other variations on this theme to emphasize the important methodology involved. Looks at risk management within this sphere and makes a few valid points about this and other connected issues.
