Is is my understanding, that in the event of one of the flight crew becoming unconscious, that a F/A would/could potentially man the seat of the one out of it and assist the other pilot in flying/landing. Calling out checklist items, droping the gear, etc . . .I understand there may be aussie regs, or airline specific sops. Overall, I don't see this as a big deal . . . like making something out of nothing . . . .

Wrong Place; Wrong Time
Seems like a case of wrong place, wrong time...which reminds me of a joke.
A Captain filled out a NASA/FSAP report on himself and his F/O. The narrative read:
"It was day 4 of a 5-day trip. I was pretty tired from the previous night. I must have dozed off.
When I awoke, I didn't know where I was. I turned to the right and saw the First Officer, also asleep. I had no idea how long we had both been out.
Startled, I checked the clock. Axiously, I nudged her awake and said 'Hey, baby, wake up...the crew bus will be here in 30 minutes!'"

At least one company says the FA has to use the jumpseat when one pilot leaves the flight deck... not allowed to use either pilot seat... but apparently whomever wrote that rule never used a Stupid-80, or even an EMB jumpseat... both completely block the door. Besides, by the time the FA figures out the JS, the pilot will be back from the Lav... the remaining pilot sure can't help with the JS.... he/she has to monitor the flight, and talk with ATC... no time for teaching how to open/store the JS.
Typical, another great rule.
