Airline pilot on the non-flying leg

In case of an emergency in which the FO can't fly, could the pilto in the jumpseat act as FO so the flight can legally be operated by two pilots?

I'm sure he can help in order to get the plane to a divert field. But when I used to jumpseat, I was a Merlin Metro pilot riding on a 727/747. Only so much help I could give.
 
In a true emergency, the regs go out the window. Good luck getting in the FOs seat if he's out O' commission. Just imagine dragging an incapacitated FO out of the seat in a small flight deck like the CRJ has...lol

I wonder, are there any SOP's about having someone takeover if there's an incapacitated captain or FO?

yeah, if they have a jumpseater, they will ask for his/her assitance. or see if there are any pilots deadheading on your flight. Some airlines may have the flight attendant sit in the Flight deck.

What does he or she do during the cruise portion of the flight?

If there is a real emergency the jumpseater can be used as a resource especially if they are rated on that aircraft.

As far as what we do in cruise as pilot monitoring, well, officially we talk to ATC, monitor engine and systems parameters, and look for traffic.

And in reality?
 
Work the radios. Do all the FMC entries. Do your Jepp revisions. It's actually more workload than being the flying pilot, especially in cruise.
 
Much truth to that, especially on a short leg. I did CLE-DTW last week and was quite busy on the 20 minute flight.

Then on their first flight we close the door and say, "gotcha sucker, now bend over if you whats good for you!" Whoa

? where'd that come from.

The one thing I hate about Jepp revisions in cruise is I always get those darn paper cuts, dry hands, and constant grips of the binder catching my hand when I try and close it.
 
You know, Omar, if you flew something with a little more room up front, you wouldn't have those problems!!

Can some elaborate on "Jepp revisions". If it is what I think it is, wouldn't you do that before the flight??

Because you have all that time on the aircraft to do it enroute!!
