Flying will be the most sought after position for a lot of guests, true. But Shooting will be just as popular, and that'll take 2 or 3 chairs. The last 2 are engineers. While we keep raising the point that everyone will want to fly and the other 5 seats are trash, let's keep in mind that there will be guests who would prefer to shoot, and then some who don't want to drive or shoot/don't play video games, and don't want that burden of consequence on other guests who will gladly take the more passive experience in the back row.
The issue becomes that the worst seats on this ride are still as good as star tours, and the best seats may be so desirable that there is an extra wait for them. But I can imagine now that driving/flying is only so important to some guests, while shooting and being a soldier essentially is exciting for a different audience, etc. While being a back row engineer might not be exciting in this same line of thinking, there will be guests in many parties willing to let others perform the more exciting duties for no reason other than nerves/to not mess it all up for everybody.
The most sought after seat on space mountain is the front row, but that doesn't mean that the rest of the vehicle is empty.
The difference, especially on Space Mountain where you can't see anything, is that on most rides you're still getting essentially the same experience regardless of your seat. Having a completely different ride experience- whether that be flying, shooting, or flipping swit- ahem - I mean engineering will lead to people who only want to do one of the three options. Especially if they've ridden before and want to try something new, or have a preference.
There will definitely be some people who don't want to fly or shoot, but is that gonna be 2 out of every 7 people?
