I must agree and with the addition of the secound crew member the gradient was usually that steep it created even more work for the captain. It actually decreased safety and most of the CFIT accidents leading up to this point probably would have included two crew rather than one. It wasn't much fun trying to find Garoka or Hagen on a sh!tty morning, seperating yourself from other traffic and then trying to keep the dude in the right seat calm.
