No, the pilot or co-pilot would have to actually fly, but over time the fake pilot would pick up skills.
Rumor was that in India, pilot licenses were $1000 at the back door of one govt building.
Some accidents found one pilot would have the fake license.
- ceejayoz 6y agoThat'd make for an awkward conversation if both pilots had a fake license. "You know how to fly this thing?" "No, I hoped you would."

- redis_mlc 6y agoOften there's lots of chimes going off, and in the case of Airbus, lots of little menu windows to acknowledge first before some electronic systems are usable. Also, task saturation can result in humans hearing but not recognizing alarms, which is often found on black boxes. Then you have the emotional response of the pilots realizing their careers are over. Unfortunately, the passengers in back are just along for the ride and have no idea about all that - they just wanted to get from Point A to Point B safely.
