may have helped in this situation.
A covering pilot in the jump seat would be present with a (new) FO line training until the LTC dispenses with the third pilot at some point.
With a FO being trained up as (new) Captain occupying the LHS on a type already qualified as a FO, unlikely to have a covering pilot.
They should be a third pair of eyes although that proved to be untrue on the Turkish 737-800 at AMS which stalled on final approach.
