What makes the right seat of the MD88 more busy than say the right seat of a 717/737/320?
Imagine working all the levers and cranks of a one-man band in a cockpit the size of a porta-john, while programming a 386 computer powered by squirrels, listening to 3 different freqs and the FA in the rear complaining that it's a sauna while you try to get a clearance out of LGA for the first leg of 5 for the day. Then add what Mike said, wash..rinse..repeat.
