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.
Please know that any co-pilot on a commercial passenger jet is well qualified to fly and land the plane. Not a big deal for one pilot to pland a plane. Definitely tougher with no pilots.
