If you are a pilot you know there could be a lot of reasons to divert without you being in an emergency.

I was once on a 12 hour flight. Two captains, two first officers. After about two hours flight one of the F/O:s became ill, vomiting and with stomach pains. Food poisoned, no doubt.

We told him to go back to the bunk and relax for the rest of the flight. He was ok but not fit enough to perform in the cockpit so from a crew perspective he was "lost".

Had you been the captain you would have declared an emergency and landed asap?
