In general we can be grateful it was an incident and not an accident but this is a wake up call. How about reverting back to tri- crew cockpit crew as mandatory with the third crew primary function being to monitor the other two! This is particularly so when a training flight is being involved.I KNOW PEOPLE WILL BE SCREAMING THE COST MUSIC THEME...hey Airline Safety is priceless! This is especially so when pilot rosters are pushing the CRM risk emvelope.Even having a junior but rated pilot on the jumpseat is an extra pair of eyes ears and brain...and hopefully with a voice to add to the safety equation!
