My airline, (the one that just bought his) does indeed do incapacitation training, certainly for F/Os. In fact my last time in the sim I had an incapacitation just after flaps up and the trainer then failed an engine, in CAT III conditions as well, so a single pilot, single engine, cat III autoland from the right seat.

No problem though as the training here is excellent.

My condolences go to his family, friends and colleagues, especially the ones on the flight with him. A very traumatic time for them as well.

An expression immediately springs to mind,

"There, but for the grace of God, go I".

A sad day.
