More cupholders than my minivan...


What are the handles outboard of the sticks?


They're the tillers ( if you mean the ones with the curve on top)
The ones on the windows unlatch the windows and then slide them back.
So you can lean out and shout at the ramp agent to hurry the hell up
you want

I thought it was so you could tip the guy with the dirty rag who runs
up and cleans the windows for you even if you don't want him to...
wait, that only happens in California.


It happens in Vienna and Munich too! First time I was there we pulled
onto chocks and bent down to pick up the maintenance log. When I sat
back up again there was a guy in my windshield! Scared the crap oout of
me!
