"incapacitated". Another case of SADS as the FAA lowers the bar on health for pilots while increasing diversity. PSA from your neighborhood coincidence theorist.
Ah, so everyone had th fish on this flight. Get me Rex Kramer and only Ted Stryker can bring this flight down.
Seriously, this had a great outcome. Shit happens and I give kudos for the entire crew doing what we should be doing.

Otto the Autopilot was ready if need be.
I am glad he was there and willing to step in... Glad they had another crew that was able to take the flight.
I see that the media is saying about his matter and I quote, "Off duty Pilot Takes over aircraft due to captains' incapacity." So they make it look like HE saved the Aircraft from crashing? How stupid can the media be to even write such stuff like that? The FIRST OFFICER was fully able to handle the aircraft, but it's always so nice IF another Pilot (even from another airline) could be asked to assist in handling the heavy workload of the approach and landing duties too>
I have a slightly different take on it in that every person that is in the air with you flying is flying either an Airbus or a Boeing and while the aircraft may be the controls are going to look a lot the same so really if you're in the air and you can keep it in the air another pilot can probably at least talk you down to the point where not everyone dies. And I'm not suggesting it it will likely be without deaths because Landing a plane that big going that fast there's a lot of energy to get everything right. But if you can get most of the things right then it's possible not everyone dies.
