Key Takeaways:

Avoid allowing passengers to eat messy foods like Cheetos to prevent difficult-to-remove stains, especially if they get sick.
Even when flying a private aircraft, there's a risk of "losing" or forgetting luggage, as illustrated by the author leaving a hanging bag in their car.

The long list of passenger guidelines in GA from the May OTA brought two things to mind:

1. Never let your passengers eat Cheetos. If they get sick, you cannot get the stain out. I have personal experience with this when my kids were younger!

2. Even in a private aircraft, you can lose luggage. I flew my Cessna 340 to a meeting with Delta Air Lines and had to apologize at the start of the meeting that I did not have a coat and tie on because I left my hanging bag in my car!
