George Hopkins is a perfectly unbiased writer without an agenda too!
What would make it better than the 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's? I'd say something called evolution, progress, etc. Not to say that ALPA didn't have a place in those times, but times change, however ALPA doesn't.
If we're gonna by the tradition, we should put third pilots sitting in the jumpseat on every flight too, even on RJ's too! Y'know... flight engineers and all.
