But that only applies to planes above a certain number of passengers.

The single engined float planes that take off from the water in a busy city center, surrounded by high buildings, mountains and suspension bridges, in an uncontrolled airspace full of private pilots, police/news/medic helicopters. These only need one pilot because they have < 16 seats.

I suppose this is much easier flying job than taking a 737 from one Cat5 airport to another Cat5 airport.
