Sad day for Mxsmanic

The *engines turning* drains the fuel from the tanks. In other words
there is a strict time limit on all of these activities.

That time limit is not changed by incapacitation of the pilots.

Airports don't keep instructors sitting around on call ready to leap
into action at a moment's notice the way they do S&R, firemen, and
military interceptors.

They don't have to be on call.

They don't have to be on call.

If they aren't, it will take hours to find them.

It only takes a few minutes.

You guess at everything, don't you?

Wrong again, though it is to be expected from someone with zero life
experience.

Having been involved in many a call up to people who are SUPPOSED to
be reachable and seen the actual results, I feel I am very qualified
to say you are full of **** when you say you can reach people in
a "few minutes" who have zero obligation to be available.

Yeah, seriously.

You're doing well if you can get paramedics to your house within five
minutes even if you're in the middle of a life threatening emergency and
live within spitting distance of a hospital.

Getting J. Random Instructor on the phone in a few minutes from a
standing start? You'll be lucky if you're even talking to the right
department at the airline by that point, and really lucky if they
actually believe that you're serious.

Suicide hot line: "Your call is very important to us, and will be
answered in the order it was received. Estimated wait time, etc"

Even 911 lines sometimes get backed up and force people to wait for
minutes before talking to someone, and that's a service where people
call in routinely and for which any given call has a significant
probability of lives being at stake. And somehow it's going to be
trivial to get similar response time to on-call police and paramedics
when the necessary people aren't even on call? Funny and ludicrous.

Your experience is not necessarily more representative than mine.

Yes it is.

He's a pilot. You are not.

See the difference?
