Saw a similar comment from a heavy captain on aus.aviation. So why
would they even bother to ask if there was a pilot on board and scare
the **** out of the pax for no reason.

The pilot may have felt that someone else with piloting experience
would be better at providing assistance than someone with none.
However, in this type of situation, that isn't necessarily so. While
a trained pilot would almost certainly not be worse, he might not be
better, either. You need someone who can follow instructions, not
necessarily someone who knows how to fly. A pilot might understand
the instructions more easily at first, but he might also be less
inclined to do exactly as he is told, which could present a hazard
that outweighs the utility of his piloting experience.



You're an idiot.
