But there is on the A300-B4, and rather than unpredictable girly-screamers, I've been in compromising situations with F/E's that remain calm, of the utmost help, even reading-out the parameters I am trying to achieve with various stages of a no-ASI scenario from the QRH while the F/O busies himself with something else useful to the situation.
Don't belittle the F/E. His days may be numbered, but a more experienced and professional bunch of people I have yet to meet. Always a cool and invaluable hand in a crisis. Don't knock the threesome it if you haven't tried it!
