From Octavius......I think the point B757-200 was not trying to make but asking "Why even take off when one of the 2 humans up the front was not functioning"
All the replies were how the other pilot could fly it alone and it was no big deal, pilot incapacitation is trained in the sim.
In flight emergency, no problem!
The holes in the cheese line up when you have only one pilot up the front AND an emergency.
Do they train that in a sim?
Yes they do train for that in the sim....
