I suggest you have a good rethink, how does the lack of a rear crew give absolution. The only time I've needed a rear crew was for firing the guns and winching. Didn't even have them for sling loading. Mind you they were helpful giving clearances into tight holes for medevacs when trimming the shrubbery with main rotor was a necessity.
There will never be absolution. However, having an alert, well-trained rear crew who know their job and understand their worth in a fully integrated crew will go a very long way in preventing this kind of cringe-worthy event.

I'll bet the rear crews were lining up to fly with you Maverick.
