vgbaron Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: "Crew incapacitation" 10-06-03, 16:13z  Hi Mark - A question came up in another forum that you might be able to answer. Given the private ( or sim) pilot's often dreamed scenario of being on an airliner with the crew incapacitated and having to fly the plane---etc. Someone mentioned that they believed that if the crew were incapacitated, the airline would have one of the attendants handle the controls rather than a passenger (a ppl) due to insurance reasons. Is there an official airline policy re emergency procedures in the event the flight crew is incapacitated? I would think the choice between anyone with some flying skills as opposed to none at all would be a no brainer and insurance requirements would NOT be a consideration - getting the pax down in one piece would be primary concern.
