We need a doctor and a person with flying experience

[Time]

How would you feel if there is an announcement that they need a doctor to come to the cockpit then minutes later another announcement that they need someone with flying experience?

Apprehensive (emoticon showing that sinking feeling in the pit of the stomach with expression of 'Why Lord'?)

...but excited at the prospect that without one iota of flying experience I would have to volunteer my services if there was no person with flying experience to answer the call.

Hey...I sure as hell would prefer to go down fighting!!! In any case, thinking on how to save myself would leave no time for me to give way to fear!!! ...and the new pilot would have both my fullest trust (instead of putting my fate in another ignorant 'instant' pilot's hand and not even one tinnie-winnie real hope that we shall make it).

Talk me down!!! (Gotta fool them on the ground that in the cockpit there is no whiff of fear!)

Pilot and co-pilot out of commission? Maybe what they need is an environmental scientist to find out what's going on there in the cockpit!

[Mosiah]

Really, Karl?

Tower: "In the upper left of your instrument panel there is an indicator marked ASI. Tell me your speed, Karl."

Karl: "Is this airspeed or speed over ground?"

I'll take my chances with the unconscious pilots!

The Captain was out, the co-pilot wanted a backup.

[Mosiah]

Back-up? Didn't know co-pilots were that incompetent!

[Gamma]

does that mean pilots are incompetent? after all they have to fly woth a co-pilot

[Karl]

Asumption?

...the aircraft was not on the ground!

...and who the hell would I rather trust?
'course that is me!

Aside: Not surprised you would go for the unconscious pilots over a conscious person...and certainly not surprised you would have no faith in self!!! ...and that's a fact!!!

Mosiah is worse than the nurse who asked the co-pilot, 'You do know how to land the plane, right?' Mosiah, co-pilot is a fully qualified pilot and most crew share the load of a two leg trip by allowing the captain to fly one leg and the co-pilot to fly the other leg.

[Mosiah]

Huh?!

[Time]

Huh?!

What did you believe that the co-pilot was incompetent?

[Mosiah]

You said the co-pilot needed backup. Always thought they were capable of flying the plane by themselves!
