Sorry, had to stop the tail wagging the dog here.
Although a three man flightdeck is more socialable, and FE's buy horrific amounts of beer on layovers, with today's technology and system automation I fail to agree that it is any safer. I have flown both and feel as much at ease in my current two man operation as I did in a three.
More convenient, yes. Safer...?? No.
