nothing...the copilot is perfectly capable to handle it all alone.
by Sherri on June 18th, 2009
I wouldn't talk to him anymore! Not even to thank him for the flight!
by BrokeDog on June 18th, 2009
I'm like "Factotum" ... I'd sure as heck try and land it myself! My problem is, they'd probably give me Lloyd Bridges to talk me down (like in the old "Airplane" movie), and it would be a bad day for both of us to have quit painkillers! I can hear him now (unknowingly, with his mic keyed on) saying "they have a dis-abled, drug addicted, useless old mailman trying to land this thing ... heck, direct them out over the ocean and let them crash ... let's try to save everyone on the ground ... we KNOW those poor suckers on the plane are goners"!

by Over and Out on June 18th, 2009
Hopefully, there'd be a co-pilot and we'd never had to know about it during flight.
It was certainly a very sad thing that the Continental pilot died ... my heart goes out to him and his family. I'm glad they could land the plane safely though.
by HungryGuy on June 20th, 2009
Well, I've flown planes in Microsft Flight Simulator. So if my life depended on it, I think I might have a better chance at being "talked" down by the ATC than most people.
by shammers still slogging along on June 20th, 2009
Hope the co-pilot wasn't asleep.
by Cheesus on June 18th, 2009
Hope like hell the Co-pilot knows how to fly the damn plane.
by whostolemyhelmet on June 18th, 2009
well I've always wanted to jump out of an airplane...guess that would be the perfect time...damn...I hope there's a parachute!!!
by Fiddle Playing Creole Bastard on June 18th, 2009
I'd land the plane!
by Ms.A on June 18th, 2009
I'd just kill him for pulling a crazy stunt like that!!!
by jeanie16 on June 18th, 2009
oh god.!!!.............
that was a nasty ol question keith, especially for some one like me who isnt too good when flying..........
something about not being in control I think !! :)P
by Shanel with an S on June 18th, 2009
i would be terrified!
by Ec-nal Licensed Bootie Inspector on June 18th, 2009
First I'd choke the bastard, just to be sure he wasn't messin' with me yo...
by Factotum on June 18th, 2009
Absent anyone better qualified I'd try to land it myself. And I'm not at all qualified. Still, if I'm going to die in a horrible fiery death I'd rather be driving.
by Account Closed on June 18th, 2009
I would land it. earned my wings in 79
by Sexyrabbit on June 18th, 2009
Hope there was a co-pilot..:)
by TerminaAdventurer on June 18th, 2009
I'd go parachuting.
by Isaac on June 18th, 2009
I'd land the plane myself. How hard can it be?
by Wind in the Willow on June 20th, 2009
Is there a snake on this plane?
by bagicide stayed 10 months too long on June 20th, 2009
What could I do? I mean, its not like you can holler out, "stop the plane, I'm getting off." All you can do is sit tight and pray that the copilot has the experience to land the plane safely.
by Sheriff Raff -Answerhag on June 20th, 2009
I would order free cocktails for everyone on the plane cause I know I wouldn't have to pay for them.
by Go know thyself is THE RED QUEEN on June 20th, 2009
Nothing.
As the passengers are usually never told things like that.
by -NUNYA-- on June 20th, 2009
Bend over and kiss it all goodbye!!! +5
by Simply Salsa... on June 20th, 2009
Firstly id poke him.
Then id go "right, we have a problem"
Id then say "So you say the co-pilot just dived out the plane moments after the already suspicious death of a pilot?"
Id get on the radio and ask if anyone knew how to fly a plane, if someone did then hey presto, relax a bit. If no one could then id say "I can land a jet on a video game, it isnt much different from this, highly mundane situation." id then crash the plane into Heathrows terminal 3.
by Demonica on June 20th, 2009
get on the radio and have someone instruct me on how to land the plane
by Andariel on June 20th, 2009
If the pilot died I wouldn't worry unless the copilot was also dead or knocked out. Then I would scream once, then hope to God that there's an Air Force on the flight.
by TheJoker on June 19th, 2009
I guess I'd probably crash..... thats not my first choice I just dont think my computer game experience would let me land a plane.
by Robbie on June 19th, 2009
I would hope and pray that whatever the pilot had the co-pilot better not have!
by Craigor on June 19th, 2009
I'd hope the co-pilot was competant. That pilot was supposed to fly a plane from Newark, NJ to Columbus, OH after that flight. My brother-in-law was going to be on that flight. As of last night he was stuck in Newark waiting for a pilot.
by THE TRAVEL SLUT on June 19th, 2009
I personally would not do anything except hope the co-pilot was capable and that there was anothe pilot on board.
by Anonymous on June 19th, 2009
reach in my pocket and take how ever much xanax i had left.. if the situation really started to deteriorate i would close my eyes and brace myself for the impact.
by Corgingus on June 19th, 2009
Kiss your ass goodby.
by John on June 18th, 2009
there is an app for how to fly a plane, no worries...+5.
by Marky Mark on June 18th, 2009
Hope the co-pilot knows his business...or that there was another pilot among the passengers.
by Rollie on June 18th, 2009
Nothing. I probably wouldn't know it until I read the news the next day. The co-pilot would take over and the passengers wouldn't be told anything unless there was the likehood of a crash.
by -O-uknow on June 18th, 2009
Cancel the layover.

by HoboJoe on June 18th, 2009
I'll read the manuals from the glove compartment. The index should have something on how to fly the plane.
Start believing in the afterlife fast. I will be wishing I can come back as Tom Brady so I can date supermodels in my next life.
by The Chief on June 18th, 2009
I figure if I can operate a nuclear reactor, I can figure out how to fly a plane at least well enough to get us to where we need to be to land.
:):)
That's what radios are for!
by anonymous on June 18th, 2009
Pray for a really good co-pilot.
by Twisted Taco on June 18th, 2009
Let the copilot(s) do the job, unless, of course, I'm flying in one of those two-passenger jobs in which case, I'd wet my pants, put my hands on my head and scream "I want my mommy!" real loud
by Nancy on June 18th, 2009
Hope the co-pilot could fly and land the plane.
by DukeG on June 18th, 2009
My father owned a plane and taught me how to fly when I was a kid. Lets hope I at least remember how to use the radio.
by Adz3r0 on June 18th, 2009
I can't really do much more than just sit there and pray.
by Anonymous on June 18th, 2009
Where the hell is the co-pilot?
by CaRbOnPrOdUcK is Baccuss on June 18th, 2009
Scream, don't worry, I'm next....Good One
by Anonymous on June 18th, 2009
Wait for the co-pilot to take over and land the plane?
by Soccerman on November 15th, 2009
Aaaaaaaargh!
by NeverRight on August 21st, 2009
Hope it wasn't me. (I'm an airline pilot)
