He routinely flies in the flight levels. Of course, the door is pretty evenly spaced all the way around, so the seal doesn't really have to "stretch out" to seal the gap. A lot of things I have done to mine were dictated by his real-life experiences. I don't plan to put the strip on mine in the beginning either - I may have to later.
