Yea I never really got this. Why would you want to do gymnastics trying to get out of your seat. Straighten out the seat and roll all the way back. It’s not that hard to get the cockpit ready for the next crew.
Bad pilot etiquette?

I would if it ever happened, but I've never encountered such behavior. It's just so surprising that someone would do that..

Lol, I wasn't questioning the aft position, only the vertical part. Kind of like the toilet seat argument, why should the default position be withe the seat down.

Eagle guy that was a displaced captain (wore his captain bars and never bid CA again even though he could) was super disgruntled. He would turn screens off, delete all the v speeds instead of just leaving them at landing speeds (aka not far from takeoff), removed the minimums so you had to dial it all the way from zero instead of a few clicks, moved the iPad mount all the way back on the window (unusable position, had to be moved), moved the seat full forward and up. Every time you got into the jet after him it was like an Easter egg hunt of all the little passive aggressive things he would do.

Put your picked boogers on the bottom of the bottom of the seat cushion not the recline lever.

Leaving a mess. Food, opened cans/bottles, napkins, uneaten food. GROSS.
Finger prints on the displays. Protip: They're not touchscreens.
Headsets in the bait well (not so much of an issue these days).
Of course, now that I've listed my peeves, someone will go out of their way to do them.

I don’t really see an issue with someone dipping. I’m biased but others dipping never affected me. And other people’s pet peeves about seats being left in bad positions or leaving coffee cups in the cup holders I say: maybe they were just in a rush trying to catch a commute or something. I’ve never flown with an outright slob that left mustard stains on the window. Most of the time I make an effort to make it look like no one was using my side of the cockpit but I’ve left my share of stuff because I was in a mad dash to make it home. I would hope the guy after me didn’t assume that just because I left a half opened water bottle in the cubby that I just don’t care. Im pretty confident most of us have donated to the “crap on the floor” fund.

I second the prints on the screens. Stop it.

For me it isn’t the dip itself, it’s the spit cup/bottle. I shouldn’t have to clean that nasty crap up for someone. I wouldn’t want them to have to deal with my smelly, brown, leftover saliva. Regarding rushing to a commute, that’s a weak excuse. Clean it up on descent so it isn’t a mess when you bolt for your flight home. I commuted for years and made it a habit to clean up near TOD so the next pilot didn’t have to play maid to my mess. It isn’t that hard to plan ahead or think of others.

The seat and seatbelt are my usual pet peeves, doesn't bother me a whole lot. Most of the time I think it's the previous FO, then I realize it was MX.
Wiping the screens with the sani wipes when they're super wet, so you can't see the screens at all.
Other than that, not a lot bothers me. Haven't had left over tissues, spit bottles or anything like that. Just the occasional drink and packaged dry food

No pasa nada.
I've worked at a couple places where dipping was permitted, and one place where you could smoke in the cockpit if you were empty.

Beyond just being irritated at people who leave the seat all the way up and forward, I'm also equally as amazed that they are able to extract themselves out of the seat while it is in that position. How and why did you do that to yourself??
Then, after I contort myself onto the fully elevated seat so that I may lower it (mechanically operated Dash seat needs a butt in it to get to lower), I'm also amazed at how anyone is able to have anything resembling proper ergonomic control of the rudder pedals with the seat all the way up.
- Seat down and back
- Take out your trash
- Put the window shades up when it's OVER 9000! degrees out
Easy peasy.

All the way aft and down. Nobody has problems getting into the chair because there is too much room. Tall folks get overhead panels imprinted in the foreheads when the seats are left up. It was the manual pressure knob when I was an FO, now it’s the battery master. And the concussions from those darn HUD boxes have probably pushed my IQ down enough the majors won’t hire me

I saw them take the outflow valves out of one of Air 1st's MU-2s, once. They were ORANGE. I never smoked in the cockpit, but I'm pretty sure everyone else did.
