So the plane just automatically flies until one of the passengers comes up to fly and then land the plane.
How about this: On takeoff, the pilot dies, the plane banks.
The co-pilot is a captain himself, and he trains pilots. He is flying in the right hand seat to evaluate the Captain in the left hand seat. If he had NOT taken control when he did, the plane would have crashed which would have killed ALL aboard. This really happened during the Thanksgiving travel time period.
NO, there has to be TWO experienced pilots each able to do everything necessary to control the airplane. Just a few weeks ago, this plane would have been a huge disaster with only one pilot in the cockpit.
There was another pilot on a flight earlier this year who had a heart attack just minutes after landing the plane as it was at the gate when he dropped. The pilot freely talked about being forced to have the jab and the problems he saw with the forced vaxxxxxxxxinations. And these are not the only two vaxxxxxxxxxine caused problems for pilots. It is a major disaster waiting to happen due to the criminal medical establishment and the corrupt Federal Government.
Can you imagine? The pilot passes out as the plane is taxing from the runway and taking off. A flight attendant luckily notices, and runs into first class and calmly asks, “is there a pilot here?”. The response is “no”, so she proceeds to business class and asks again. No responses.
Meanwhile, three minutes have passed, the plane is not leveling off for flight, important “knobs and buttons” are not being pushed, and within four minutes the plan has landed. Crash landed with all aboard deceased. Yeah, good plan.
I seem to recall airlines recently changing requirements for pilots to the point that recently retired Air Force pilots would not qualify for private airline employment. That has greatly reduced the number of pilots availability.
