Many airlines give passengers the opportunity to select a preferred seat when booking a flight. In this case, [[Megan]] appears to be {{w|Airport check-in|checking in}} at a [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ad/Self_check-in_at_Dublin_Airport.jpg/1280px-Self_check-in_at_Dublin_Airport.jpg self-check-in] at the airport, where she is given the opportunity to select her seat. Rather than selecting a seat on the diagram, Megan clicks on the pilot seat (which is of course not an actual option for online seating reservations){{cn}}. In the last frame, we see that, because she chose the pilot seat, she is now actually sitting in the captain’s seat, flying the plane while whooping. A worried-looking pilot sits behind her at the back of the cockpit, holding both hands in front of his mouth. While she is flying in a presumably fully-enclosed cockpit, her scarf rises behind her as if being pushed by a great wind. This is likely to show that she is piloting the aircraft recklessly compared to a normal pilot. | Many airlines give passengers the opportunity to select a preferred seat when booking a flight.

| − | The title text says to not click on the wing. The implication is that if you did click on the wing you would, similarly, end up sitting outside on the wing. Even if you were able to hold on, this would put you above the Death Zone, which is at 7 km (See the | + | The title text says to not click on the wing. The implication is that if you did click on the wing you would, similarly, end up sitting outside on the wing. Even if you were able to hold on, this would put you above the Death Zone, which is at 7 km (See the [[what if?]] ''{{what if|64|Rising Steadily}}''). Standard cruising altitude is {{w|Stratosphere#Aircraft_flight|10 km}}(30-39,000 ft.). It would be an unpleasant death, as the air is so thin that you actually ''lose'' oxygen to the air (as explained in the mentioned what if?). |
This kind of event could lead to situations as the one depicted in [[1660: Captain Speaking]]. For this reason, [[2862: Typical Seating Chart]] requests that non-pilots do not select the pilot seat(s). | This kind of event could lead to situations as the one depicted in [[1660: Captain Speaking]].
