No way!

Denti
are you sure?
When I read it I first thought it was a joke.
But somehow it makes sense.
In the early days, airplanes had up to 5 guys in the cockpit (pilot, copilot, engineer, RTF officer and navigation officer). And now we have only pilot, copilot.
So why not just pilot?
They would save a lot of money.
They can put one pilot and one... "assistant pilot"? or "airplane systems supervisor"? or just a pilot and a flight engineer!

Denti, your were kidding, weren't you?
