According to the accounts, the captain was "incapacitated" and the copilot landed the aircraft with the off-duty pilot/passenger working the radios. In perfect conditions, only one pilot is necessary but redundancy is there for safety, especially with passengers and the risk is now elevated (imo).
Waitβ¦ every jet has a pilot aNd copilotβ¦. Did both die suddenly???
