In a two man crew, what’s the difference between a Non Flying Pilot, and Monitoring Pilot???
Does the Pilot Not Flying read the checklist, tend to radio communications, read the paper, take a nap, eat his crew meal?
Or, does the Monitoring Pilot read the checklist, tend to radio communications, read the paper, take a nap, eat his crew meal?

We don't define crew positions by what you don't do (PNF), but we do define crew positions by what you do (PM). As a PNF, I also am not serving drinks to the passengers, but you don't think of yourself as a PNFA, pilot not flight attending.
As a pilot, you are always "flying", or in better terms, responsible and in control of the aircraft, you might not be the one who is physically maneuvering it.
Perhaps if we had more PMs instead of Pilots Not Flying, we wouldn't have some of these stupid accidents.

Cool! Now that I can be a PM, I won't get in an accident. Last sim, when I had a flight control malfunction, I was actively flying and monitoring. My co-pilot had his head in a checklist and the computer getting the plane set up for landing. I don't really care for the change. It is window dressing.
