As long as the Navigator / WSO doesn't put anything other than coffee, white, one, in my mug, then they're welcome on my jet anyday.
They could even help out when we hit turbulence, offload only a partial transfer, and are required to re-calculate abort points, while still keeping one pair of hands near the sidestick and thrust-levers (PF), one pair of hands to operate the ACARS/Nav-log/FMS Flt-Plan/Radios etc (PNF) and one pair of hands to press the 'partial offload' button on the MPS at the MSO console (MSO).
I don't care if they're former Navs, WSOs, FEs, ALMs, AEOPs or FCs, as long as they speak AAR and aviation, and stand their round at the bar. I also don't care what you call them.
Still, what would I know.
