Sorry, but I have seen the nice cockpit pics lately and was wondering just how the pilots get into and out of seats without stepping on all sorts of controls.
Silly question, but curious....
Carefully. I imagine that after a while they figure out the best way to step/slide into their seat without hitting controls.

They are, but on some aircraft you're still stepping over the controls in the center. (The 737-200 cockpit that I sat in last June comes to mind)

Probably, and the Airbuses have that fancy tray table too.
