If in a desperate situation e.g. PF incapacitated due to"highjack,
heart attack, bird strike, whatever". You are unable to fly the aircraft alone due to injuries & assuming there are no other pilots onboard.
Would you ask a member of the cabin crew "with no flight deck experience, but obviously trained in emergency situations" to help you to land the aircraft? Or if available would you enrol the help of a passenger with simulator flying experience? i.e. "MSFS2k2" with knowledge of flight terminology VORs, DME, MSA, QNH, GPS etc?
Plus I was also wondering. How many cabin crew actually learn
how to use a flight sim to improve there awareness of how the aircraft they work on operates?
