Why have they all got satchels? It makes them look like school children.
What have they got in them that they need to all keep carrying the satchels even when seated at their stations? If it's something that important that the men need to have about their persons at all times, you'd think they could have designed something more suitable...
For once, I hope this is just a staged photo, and they the guys loose the schoolbags as soon as the cameras are out of there.
And are those wheely chairs?! Hands up who think that could go badly wrong?
I seriously doubt PLAN needs a 1:1 replacement of 056 to Shanghai. Those boats are so outdated.

The chairs looks fastened to the floor as well, all except for that one wheel you see...
EDIT: If not, it would be a deathtrap...no chance of simply jumping off your chair if it suddenly would begin rolling...
EDIT #2: I see the standing guys are wearing the strap as well, indicating as plawolf is saying that it is some kind of satchel....
