The 767 can easily be flown by a single pilot, but putting someone with flight and company experience in the right seat helps the PIC shed some workload in an emergency situation and was a smart use of available resources.

...smart use of available resources. Yes. Helps to have another body to handle the radio and/or help run the checklist.

It's like the man said: "Flying a plane is no different than riding a bicycle, just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes."
