@Lyman - To what benefit? In airliner operation the PNF/PM is supposed to be monitoring the aircraft, not the other pilot.

I want to know why you think such a proposal would be an improvement and to understand your reasoning - a reasonable request, no?

Says who? Certainly not me.

Preposterous! At this very moment, the statistics speak a clear language: system 1 - no victims, system 2 more than 200. Twist it as much as you want, decry the one as much as you can, a zero is a zero.
Using the same flawed method to derive conclusions from statistics, one could have argued that the B747 was less safe than the L-1011 and DC-10 by the end of the '70s, yet nobody argued that. Why the rush to do so here?
