Hey Hotdog!!
I guess we have to embrance techonology that's all I'm saying. If the airplanes are certified for a two cockpit crew operation, what will the FE be doing there.
I never had the chance to fly an airplane with a FE but I fly with people that had, and the stories go both ways.
I have heard from some that the FE is the heart and soul of the operation of the aircraft, and others say that it's dispensible and in some cases it's terrible.
I guess you are entitled to your opinion, and so am I.
Take care.
