A GA pilot's worst nightmare?

Or will the FAA take action against him for operating an aircraft for which
he is not properly rated?

Was he acting as a required copilot, or just following instructions to
provide an extra set of hands for the pilot?

It sounds like he just talked on the radio, read checklists, and
handled the few things that the pilot couldn't readily do himself,
such as setting flaps and lowering gear (awkward from the left seat).

The unfortunate couse notwithstanding, this has been a droll thread!

If they did it would hand FAA enemies a load of political ammunition. I
presume though that this is covered by section 91.3(b):

"In an in-flight emergency requiring immediate action, the pilot in command
may deviate from any rule of this part to the extent required to meet that
emergency."

I suspect an emergency had been declared.

No. In the case of an emergency, the PIC (the 757's FO, acting as PIC
since the captain had become incapacitated) can deviate from these
rules in handling the emergency.

At this point who really cares about the FAA. The only thing important is if
the flight attendant is hot and wants to fulfill the rest of the fantasy.

This brings up another point. If FAs are there primarily for emergencies and
not as flying wait staff then why don't the airlines train at least senior
FAs to serve as backup radio ops and a second pair of eyes/hands?

Too many regulatory hurdles, I suspect.
