FDIC 2017

The Pierce Ascendant single axle tower absolutely DOES have a monitor. Its just not mounted to the bucket. Its at the tip of the aerial ladder itself, UNDER the bucket

 

That would make it very difficult if not impossible to point the monitor UP above the horizon.  (Think FDNY sidewalk sweep).  For me, that's a huge reason for owning a platform in the first place.  As I always say, there is always a trade-off somewhere.
