"RIP to this young pilot, Phil Thomas"
Packed easyJet plane makes emergency landing in Portugal after pilot falls ill during flight from London to Morocco
The flight diverted to Faro, Portugal, after taking off from London Gatwick today
Pilot landed because he was suffering an 'indisposition', airport source claims
The larger jets are actually easier to land smoothly than your smaller 172's.

Another pilot incapacitation💥. Air traffic controllers and passengers on United Airlines flight 2102 landing in SFO on April 4 2023 are demanding information regarding the captain’s medical condition just prior to landing. The first officer reported on frequency that he was the only one in control of the aircraft and that the captain was incapacitated. Numerous air traffic controllers have verified the event using official FAA systems.

American Airlines Struggles With Pilot Deficit, Grounds 150 Aircraft
Enrico Trigoso
American Airlines, a leading carrier based in Fort Worth, is currently grappling with a significant challenge. The airline is unable to operate approximately 150 of its regional aircraft due to a persistent shortage of pilots, as revealed by CEO Robert Isom.
Speaking at the Bernstein 39th Annual Strategic Decisions Conference, Isom stated, “We would deploy properly to markets that aren’t being served. We would do that today. It’s just we don’t have the pilots.”
This issue arises at a time when the airline industry is witnessing a record demand for travel, particularly during the summer season. However, the capacity to meet this demand is constrained by the lack of pilots, leading to grounded planes and missed opportunities to capitalize on high ticket prices. Isom noted that the situation is more severe than the previous year when the pilot shortage began to significantly affect regional airlines as demand rebounded following the downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. ...
The airline industry has seen many pilots retire or leave the industry, making it challenging to find replacements. ...
According to a group of attorneys, doctors, and other experts—and a pilot who says his career ended due to adverse reactions from a vaccine—the Federal Aviation Administration has been breaking its own rule that states pilots should not fly after having taken medications that have been approved for less than a year, The Epoch Times reported in December 2021.

"Gosh, I wonder what might have caused pilots to die off or to choose to exit the industry recently."
The news around here in VA is saying the plane may have had a cabin depressurization and thus the pilot passed out. However, cabin depressurizations at the 30,000 ft level are not instant knockouts and the pilot has a quick don oxygen mask next to him, and if he is flying about 35,000 feet, he is supposed to be wearing it anyway.

That dude John Rumpel was not in the plane. It was his family members killed in that jet piloted by someone else. According to local news, the pilot was a retired airline captain, so not young anyway,
Highly doubt it is covid vax related.
As you say Headset, single pilot operations are risky
Either that or possibly murder by intelligence agencies.

To me, this is more plausible than having a highly experienced pilot succumb to cabin depressurization. Maybe a contaminated oxygen supply, since apparently the passengers seemed to have succumbed as well by not making a cell phone call or climbing up front.
Cell phones don't work on airliners.
Cellphones do not work at altitude, you go past the cell towers too quickly. I've tested this myself.

I don't do airplane mode. I've gotten calls at 36k feet. I couldn't do a 2 minute conversation but I get calls in flight all the time. I answer. It works. Just don't expect it to be long.
What's made me the most vax-skeptical is seeing the charts of how disease death rates were already dropping like stones years or decades BEFORE a vax was made for them.

It's really sanitation and the knowing the disease and how to treat alleivate the worst symptoms at various stages, in some cases before Antibiotics, that did the job of driving deaths in children to nothing.
The vaccination for covid, was stupid
That was not a vaccine by any aspect of the definition of a vaccine when that Covid jab came out. Yes, very stupid, unless the goal was to enrich Pfizer and cronies, along with setting up an election steal.

Never worked for me. Perhaps its dependent on the network. You may also have wifi calling turned on, that CAN work if the plane you are on has wifi. My phone has this ability although I've never enabled it. I actually very rarely use my phone as a phone, it's a communication device though, for telegram..
