From the comments to this video: "The Flight Engineer is the busiest member of the crew'. Well, the Navigator's response might be: "oh, really?" No doubt the FE can get very busy at times, but during cruise he is monitoring, fine tuning, and occasionally switching fuel valves. The navigator has a constant workload for most of the flight, and if he is shooting celestial or sun lines over water while making all his pre-comps, calculations, and plots he doesn't ever get much of a break. You gotta feel for navigators."
