Nope....navigator. Tu-154s have 2 "pilots" and a flight engineer, with
provisions for a navigator if needed. KrasAir still uses navigators on some
of their flights, mainly within the CIS. Other airlines would no doubt
follow suit as well.

Might seem somewhat "archaic" but hey, that is how things are done in some
countries around the world. Has the bonus of providing employment as well I
suppose :))
