I was so worried that seat was fixed and you had to have your face jammed up against all the gauges and switches, just arching your back as much as possible, but there looks to be a track in the floor, phew!

    Yeah, I believe this is "stowed position". Pilots go to the front, then the engineers that watch all those dials and move the fiddly bits pull the seat back and strap in.

    Reverse procedure to relive pilot bladder.
