True. But, how would you want to handle the situation of two equally competent(at least in the eyes of the employer) co-pilots vying for control? should it always go to one? always go to the other? have a switch controlled? controlled by whom? not easy questions if you ask me.

edit: I actually can't think of a good way to do that other than have a manual switch on the console that would switch between the two controls. anything else seems amazingly bad.

perhaps have the plane decide which input seems more rational, then announce who has control.

Sounds like a great way to further mess up an emergency by making it harder for people to figure out the impacts of their actions on the situation.
