It's like a person who knows how to drive a car taking over driving a Greyhound bus if the driver conked out. He was a pilot already. My qualification for the comment is that I'm a 20 year pilot with experience in lots of airplanes. Guy did a good job, but the real news would have been if he had crashed - what was all that training for?! I have no idea why this continues to make big news.
