Not sure you understood what I am talking about.
If you thought I was making a statement about the PF and PM/PNF duties being PIC/SIC specific - then you misunderstood my post.

It IS good the 777 has a visual warning...the plane I'm flying does not...but I still think an Aural warning is needed, as you might not be looking at the PFD when your airspeed decays....it is VERY easy to get distracted...like on the EAL everglades flight.
It seems to me that he is stating that the PF is not watching his airspeed decay because he is concentrating on looking outside and therefore needs an aural warning to alert him. My contention is that the PNF/PM should be montioring the airspeed. The PNF/PM is the PF's eyeballs inside the cockpit for the exact purpose of catching deviations
