My concern is that yet again, so carefully monitored and, according to press reports, just having passed a Class one Medical, the pilot has a fatal heart attack ? Pretty useless screening, eh ?
Not at all.
No carefully monitored screening can predict every single possible occurence of incapitation or death of a human being. Our medical science is centuries away from that.
That is why we carry two (or more) pilots.
The system we have, worked as designed. What is your issue with that? It happens extremely rarely, and on they day it did happen, the jet landed safely. That is the system we have implemented and it has proved it's worth yet again. And that is the system we continue to be happy with.
