Flight Detent: What exactly is it about 2 man cockpits that scare you? The only 744 hull loss I can think of was SQ and an engineer would not have made much difference. A340/330s have caught fire on the ground, but that is because of engineers using hydraulics when they shouldn't right? And I remember a certain B727 where the engineer walked into the cockpit and pushed in a circuit breaker without saying anything first. If I were you I'd avoid engineers like the plague, and classics too. Especially in bad wx! Stick with the 'upgrades!'
