What the fuck would be the point of telling the passengers? Just to get a little idiocy going on the flight to break up the monotony?You have a relief pilot, you let him take over, get the people on the ground, and then you can tell them.

^Exactly. It just comes across as the media trying to stir up some controversy to make the story more marketable.

Yeah, at first I didn't realize it was part of the crew that took over the flying. I kinda thought they came over the intercom and said something like, "So, uh...the pilot seems to have died...anyone know how to fly a plane?"

UPDATETurns out they called over the intercom for a doctor, but didn't mention the death of the pilot.

I wonder if this guy's life insurance policy is worth more since he died on the job.I know my is like tripled if I die in a car going to meet a customer or picking up lunch, etc. I don't know about natural causes though. That'd be crazy...

At first the article said 21 years of service, and now it says 32 years of service.
