Gents, this is amazing. 118 posts about a subject that has been thrashed around for years now and nothing really new has come of it. Pilots die from all sorts of reasons and all ages young and old. Were beating a dead horse by continuing this debate IMO.
BTW, I had a 50 year old F/O in what appeared to be perfect health drop dead while landing the mighty 777 at CDG many years ago. Blood clot to the brain as it turne out. Guess what, we all survived except of course the poor F/O.
Bad stuff happens.
