F/E are great,they help out with the checks ,situation awareness and of course making the coffie,and lets not forget the walkaround on a rainy day !!. .I have done the single and two crew and problably have to go back to two crew soon but i'm glad to have the "old" guy behind me.. .But on the other hand in my view a Flight Engineer should come with a supply of anti gas pill's !! <img src="confused.gif" border="0">
