No matter what their role, I refer to anyone in the right or backseat of an aircraft I'm in as hostages.
I've been flying a single-seat aircraft almost exclusively for the past twenty years (and for a time before that). Occasionally, on Unicom, I'll refer to a Cessna 172 as a "Crowd Killer" or a "Cessna Heavy".....

Frank, I got the number directly from the horses mouth. The national sales manager for AmSafe wrote to me in an email: "We use a ball park figure of 1.5 pounds per seat" and sent me relevant weight and balance AmSafe/Cessna documentation.
