MONITORING

Im sorry, but I dont get it.One guy flys (PF) and the other guy monitors him flying (PM).I fail to see the need for yet another system to catch/stop pilots from running off the rails into danger territory.Standard callouts and advisories from the PM ("SPEED!!") and from the back up GPWS callouts when things get a little hairy are enough.If the response/correction from the PF is not timely enough, these industry-standard callouts can be said a lot louder and repeated if deemed necessary ("SPEED SPEED SPEED"!!) but are enough in my opinion.
