Can anyone provide any verifiable source for this statement? If we were to believe it then right now thousands of FBW Airbi currently airborne are operating with considerable wastage of valuable information in a multi crew operation.
Well .. it's not always wastage of valuable information
We must take in account the airbus FBW laws and autopilot
We have indeed a multicrew .. in fact (normal crew manning) 3 members .. 2 humans and the additional crew member .. the AP computer-FBW system entity
In normal law ... it's no wastage (human crew members hands are out of SS)
In other laws (or when a human crew member put hand on SS) it can be a wastage of valuable information
