Brico - I don't think the team concept is a 'given'....you can choose to join an organization that pairs you off with a 200 HR pay to fly FO that you have to watch like a hawk, or walk jungle trails with an 18 year old PFC who has a non safetied M16 pointed at your back all day. Your call, I am making the choice to work with who I want, rather then working in a situation where most likely I have thrust upon me, someone that has just become a liability, not a help.
I am not sold on the pilot crew concept...as two pilot crews seem to keep dumping planes, with all of us wondering 'what the other guy was doing, when pilot #1 adjusted his seat, didn't flip the right switch' ect.
Ten years ago, the argument was a three person crew vs 2....it will go single pilot gentlemen, with maybe a UAV operator on the ground....
