B757-200 should you be sat there?
B757-200, you said
"there would only be one suitable pilot to fly the a/c and how can you expect a captain or f/o to handle an Airbus A340-600 in an emergency by himself???"
Presumably you are involved with airline flying with a dumbass name like B757-200. If you are, you should know that anyone qualified to sit in the right-hand seat should be qualified to deal with emergencies and to be able to land an A340-600 single-handed. If you do sit in the right hand seat and cannot envisage such an task - difficult as it is, I would suggest that you should not be sat there in the first d@mn place.
Secondly, what gives you the G@d given right to pass your pathetic viewpoint on in a public domain in the first place?
The fact that the crew member may (or may not) have been in the wrong - the court hearing has not yet happened - flightdeck are human beings. Without predjdice, how about making the possibility of crew reporting for unfit for duty a thing of the past by having a system by-which a crew member can play a "joker" card once or twice a year in which they can call up and report unfit for duty without questions asked? Any more than the allowed twice should prompt investigation (AND SUBSEQUENT HELP - NOT DAMNATION).
