Default And....?

That's why there are two pilots on board. That's why you have Co-pilots.

Default No

My worst nightmare is having both pilots die. Or having the center fuel tank explode and have the front of the plane blown off. Then spiraling down to the ocean over several minutes.

Having the plane landed safely by the co-pilot is waaaaay better.

You could always be lucky enough to have a passenger on-board like my husband. It's been a long time, but since he flew C-130's in the Air Force, he could land one in an emergency!!

Not very lucky for the two pilots who have to die to let your husband fly the plane...

Certainly not my worst nightmare. Living in a comatose state for 10 with a perfectly functioning brain, but body that is totally immobile would be far worse
