Pilots know the risks. There are very few other professions that require a medical screening every 6 months, including an EKG.
Sudden death on the job is what the screenings are trying to prevent, ot is no secret.
Pilots tend to have some gallows humor when the subject comes up.
RIP to the captain.
Yes—RIP to the captain.
I was always a white knuckled airline passenger. If all goes well, I will never have to board another one.
Someone once said to me that if it’s your time to go, you will go. I always asked but what if it’s the pilot’s time to go?
Of course that is the reason that each flight has two pilots—and thank goodness they did in this instance.
