Shared drink counter on 747 in C (pilot\copilot?)

Been too long since I've been on a plane. In C class on the 747, in the middle 3 seats, is the drink counter that's shared by 2 passengers on the pilot side, or the copilot side? Trying to keep the spilled drinks in the family.
Thanks if you could comment.

Hey, I'm not looking for an empty seat next to me so I can have room for a 6-pack

On the 777, the shared table is definately on the copilot's side. I suspect that the 747 seats are the same.

Copilot's side on 747 in C has the double, between D and F. Noticed it last trip.

This raises another question.
Which side is the copilots side?
On flights over eight hours, the "copilot" will often times sit in the "pilots" seat and a junior first officer (a.k.a. relief pilot) will sit in the "copilot" seat while the "pilot" rests.

Facing the front of the plane, it is on the right-hand side. D had its own and E and F share.

You're absolutely right too, just in case they make a European version (compared to an American version) where the steering wheel is on the
opposite side.

Go to www.airliners.net ...

Click the "Take Me To The Photo Search Page" button...

Then sort by Aircraft Type: Boeing 747-400 + Airline: United Airlines + Category: Cabin Views...

Then see for yourself.
