I agree
U are absolutely right. With eliminating the engineer, the stability of the crew is compromised. A tripot is the most stable construction in the universe. Take a leg away and it crashes. I was ten years Captain on a B727 and found it the safest platform mainly because of the third crew. I flew also single pilot fighters and several two cockpit crew airplanes in corporate and airlines, B767 at the moment. Humanity is missing, that's right. At least the FAA got away from computers only flying now, others will follow, but engineers probably wont come back. Gladly I'm on a long range widebody now and we have usually one extra around.
