"First Officer, whether he is PF or not, makes the alt alert selection."
So you do have a clear delineation of who controls what.
My point however, is that I do regularly see minor problems occure in the monitoring loop, with this technique, and I submit that it is important to not erode the quality of the monitoring function. So, in your experience of busy airspace, when in say JFK, or LHR, do you believe one of the crew has to be work-loaded in such a way as to be able to "see the wood from the trees" and monitor the pilot flying?
