What is the brace position for cockpit crew? I have read a number of times the CVR transcript of US Airways 1549. Just before impact, they say:


  we're gonna brace


I know what is the brace position for passengers, but I'm not sure about how cockpit crews would adopt it. For Airbus aircraft (as this flight was) I think it could be done more or less the same way as passengers, but what about in Boeing or other yoke-equipped cockpits? Wouldn't the brace position interfere with critical flight controls?
You don't brace -- you're still operating the aircraft!  The pilot seats have shoulder harnesses; in many cases you can lock them, plus they also have inertial reels that keep you from slamming forward at an impact.  Additionally, the pilots can presumably see the moment of impact coming, and tense for exactly that moment in a way that passengers cannot.
