Before installing FLIR etc, why not "install" a second pilot?

Having two qualified pilots on board in poor weather goes a long way to enhancing flight sfaety, in my opinion.

Never mind the legalities of single pilot ops, what about the practicalities?

Please note that I am not pre-judging the inquiry or speculating as to the cause of the accident, nor am I laying any blame upon any crew member.However, statistical evidence confirms that single pilot operation in this class of aeroplane DOES carry a greater degree of risk.

It's no coincidence that a certain well know cargo oufit operates the single pilot approved Caravan with two crew.
