Wildfire
I am sorry but you can't compare the role of an F/O, who, just like the captain, is absolutely qualified to fly the plane and trained for, and has experience on it, and the role of someone unprepared with just basic flying skills sitting in the right seat of a B767 because of special circumstances.
In my eyes, a "hero" would be the young man that landed a King Air 200 after the Pilot died while climbing out of somewhere in Florida (2 month ago i think).
I strongly believe that Embraer's Single Pilot vision will never see the light. If it does, I'll never accept to be a passenger in a single pilot plane and I think most of the public will do the same.
