Flight Engineers
I assume the FE is a vanishing profession since the advent of the two-crew cockpit. Are any new FEs being trained for remaining three-crew aircraft ? Does the position stay unfilled or does a third pilot occupy the FE seat ?
How did the likes of Britannia Airways and Southwest Airlines deal with the FE question when they briefly operated Boeing 707s and 727s respectively in addition to their 737s ?
Thank you.
