Every possible problem you named, you get trained for...
Getting down from altitude, not overspeeding the plane, setting up the FMS, complying with speed and altitude restrictions, flying the plane and operating the radios while at 480 kts.,
You have an autopilot AND there's a CA on board...
why do you think a FO would screw up?
And if you became unconscious on board, your not going anywhere so why get yourself into something you can't handle, AND take 49 other ppl with you....
besides...in case of emergency....arent you allowed to deviate from any far?
What does deviating from a FAR in an emergency have to do with overspeeding, setting the plane up, FMS, and trying to land the plane without killing everyone and yourself? Do what you have to do in the interest of safety, but you shouldn't have to be breaking a bunch of rules just to make a normal decent, approach, and landing? It all comes down to experience and maturity, and what most people are trying to convey to you is keep getting experience and you will be a much more useful part of the team when your online.
