Not a pilot, and if I can avoid it not even SLF but do wonder how things would pan out if an event occurred that could have been avoided had a monitor been actively available for critical flight phases. I think this is a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' situation, which many times will turn out ok. You don't need me to remind you all of Swiss cheese.
