WN Pilot Gets Sick, Replaced by Revenue Passenger Who is NetJet Pilot

[EEngr]

If I recall correctly, there was a B-1B pilot who offered his assistance on a commercial flight some years ago when the captain became incapacitated.

I think the netjet pilot would be more under the microscope if he had declined to go into the cockpit, unless he had eaten the fish.

Or if he had acquired a drinking problem due to flashbacks of air-to-air combat

Many, many years ago, I used to occasionally fly either Perimeter or Air Manitoba from YWG to YGO. While I had a Canadian CPL, they didn’t ever actually check that. It didn’t stop me from sitting left seat in a bunch of metros and C-47s while the captain napped in row 1 for the first hour or so of the flight..

FO was bang to rights. Use the other guy to do radios and to monitor the essentials such as fuel, navigation, adherence to ATC instructions and to the STAR, along with flight parameters. LAS can be a tricky place to get into at the best of times, although a Mayday would ease things greatly.
