I had always believed that the seats of the pilot and co-pilot were positioned close enough to where Ferro could see Spunkmeyer's hand on his controls/joysticks from the corner of her left eye. However, a friend recently brought up that it doesn't make sense because having the co-pilot's hand in the peripheral vision of the pilot could be considered a distraction (i.e., Spunkmeyer starts twitching or something). He claimed the co-pilot's seat is further back, and what I'm seeing is an optical illusion of some sort. I agree with his statement that it would make sense for Spunkmeyer to be pushed back to avoid becoming a distraction, but I still think he's a lot closer, and Ferro can see his hand within her peripheral vision.
Maybe he should wear black or gray gloves to blend in.
