..Errr...what was that about not needing a flight engineer!
He can and will fix a lot of things, what he can't he will be conversant with both the MEL and handling all aspects of the maintenance log!
Even to the extent of 'correcting' the occasional oversight by the signitory of the maintenance release...been there..done that!
Whomever or whatever your 2nd officer is, he's never anywhere near as good as a professional flight engineer, we're talking another league here!
It's OK, I'll calm down shortly....
Cheers..FD..
