| Typical Seating Chart |
 Title text: Now that airlines have started adding wheel locks to their drink carts, less than half of flights have one accidentally fall out through the hole. |

This comic shows a seating chart for an airplane, albeit with several unusual aspects not normally found on planes.
| Label | Location | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Cowcatcher | Front of plane | It is unclear whether this is meant for when the plane is taxiing, in which case this could catch any cows that are unlucky enough to be in the airport, or if this is meant to catch flying cows. |
| Please only pick these seats if you're a pilot | Cockpit | These are the cockpit seats, which should naturally only be used by pilots. However it's possible the airline might have a system like in 726: Seat Selection, where a passenger can pick the seat. |
| Main Stage | First Class | |

| Various Fancy Classes | This is the first actual seating type (the fancy classes here often referred to as First Class and Business Class). | |
| Some airplane companies waste this space | Wings | The comic suggests that the space in (or on?) the wings is unused. In reality the space in the wings is often used for fuel, and it is not safe to sit on the wing. |
| Lookout | End of wings | Presumably these passengers are required to look for any dangers to the plane. It is unclear what these dangers are, but it could be the pursuers mentioned in the description of the tail gunners. |
| Passenger has to pedal | Propellers | The passenger's pedaling is likely what causes the engines to work in this plane. It is unlikely that a single passenger can match the power of a jet engine. |
| Hole for trash | Middle of plane, just behind wings | A big hole right in the middle of the plane would be unlikely to exist in reality due to the danger of people or things falling through the hole (such as drink carts as mentioned in the title text) and possibly landing on other things, as well as the inability to maintain pressure in the cabin. Planes typically keep all trash on board until they land. |
| Sidecar | Left side of plane, behind wings | A sidecar is a small device that is attached to a main vehicle to provide additional support or space. It is unlikely that this would be needed for an airplane, and would likely make things less stable. |
| Extra Middle Seats | Back of plane | Here the aisle moves to add two more seats in a row on one side. The 5 total seats are the aisle, three middle seats, and one window seat. This could actually exist. |
| Bumper Car Seating | Just in front of tail | These seats are presumably not attached to anything, instead able to move freely like bumper cars. In reality this would likely not be approved. |
| Penthouse | Tail | A seat located in the tail above the rest presumably. |
| Extra Legroom | Hanging off of left side of tail | A common complaint with airplane seating is the lack of legroom. These seats do not have this problem, in fact they have the entire atmosphere for legroom. |
| Fighter Escort | Seperate, smaller plane | A small fighter jet flying alongside the main plane. It is unclear if the people inside are also passengers and if they have to operate the jet (presumably as similar roles are given to passengers in the main plane). |
| Tail Gunners (Must protect plane from pursuers but earn extra miles) | Tail | People in these seats must protect the plane from any pursuers. That these people are passengers is clear from the incentive of extra air miles. Air miles are a common system that airlines implement where passengers that fly a lot with them receive special rewards. |
The title text expands on the hole, suggesting that it was a common occurrence for drink carts to fall down the hole until they implemented wheel locks. The lack of wheel locks would make it easier for a cart to slide towards the hole.
The pilot seat and the wings as seats were also mentioned in 726: Seat Selection.

where did everyone go? sucked out of the hole in the plane, perhaps? someone, i guess(talk i guess|le edit list) 03:28, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
I hate how airlines try to charge you more, just because your body has nonstandard dimensions so you actually need more legroom. I also want vis-à-vis seating, that would make an hour long journey much more comfortable. Unbelievable how people even pay for spending an hour in such an environment.--172.69.151.93 14:30, 2 December 2023PerPers
- Wait until you realise you have to pay taxes to the country you're in in most cases, and sometimes the country you're in is absolutely horrible and you'd pay anything to get out, even your sanity. 172.64.236.54 00:02, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
- True, but are any of us sane? Psychoticpotato (talk) 21:00, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
Personally, I would sit in the tail gunner position because sitting in there would be cool, you get extra miles for sitting there, and being pursued by hostile planes is unlikely.Danger Kitty (talk)
- However, I’d argue that the only sane universe for this comic to be in is this one, and so being pursued by rocs is probable. 172.68.1.158 (talk) 14:27, 4 December 2023 (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
There used to be a flash game where the player flew a fighter jet protecting air force one agains farm animals including cows. Might the cowcather refer to that? (I forgot the name of the game. It was a bit ‘over the top’. “someone set us up the chicken bomb” and phrases like that. __172.71.182.220 10:00, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
I think "main stage" is a pun on multistage rockets? 172.70.46.96 23:14, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
The "Fighter Escort" looks like it could be an F-15 because of the dual engines, vertical tails, and underwing drop tanks. 172.69.71.147 (talk) 19:34, 4 December 2023 (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
