I know right, I wasn't expecting so much activity at once, it's got me all fired up

I might even post tonight too just for kicks

[@Skepic] Yo I just realized that bigger aircraft like the bird are definitely going to need a trained copilot. I'll address that in my post, because having a reporter in the copilot seat would be asking for a crash imo

Ahem, May I remind you that your RPing with someone who has actually logged 160 hours of flying so far, and is on a path to become a career pilot in real life? So long as that reporter doesn't try to praise a god and crash the thing intentionally, I doubt that he could fuck it up. A pilot and co-pilot controls are linked and about all systems for an aircraft are simply replicated on both sides (usually, now it was like, a four engine heavy bomber, then yeah, there are some co-pilot specific stuff). 

AKA, a co-pilot's main job is redundancy and making the pilot's life a bit easier. 

You don't need to know how to fly a plane in order to yank back on a yoke if your going down. Krauss is just asking Edward to man up if the need arises during this flight and not be a little bitch.
