As TXTECHKA pointed out "Sometimes legal and safe are two different things." Learning the difference between "can" and "should" is part of that experience from which pilots develop ADM. Everybody knows that the company will "flex" the legal limits of the FARs and laws to get the job done. However, when the Fit hits the SHan, it's the a$$es of the two aviators in the front office that are on the line. These aircraft require two pilots for a reason. Otherwise, you'd see automation taking the place of the SIC.

Ref: that video I mentioned in the first post, I guess that CA would have been better off with another computer instead of that copilot. Why he allowed it, I have no idea. Granted it was CAVU, but still....Enroute is one thing, but in the terminal environment, not to mention one surounded with Patriot and Avenger missiles batteries, I'd definitely be cocked, locked, and ready to rock IF anything happened.
