He flew a plane? Without a pilots licence? And that saved lives?

I misinterpreted "not a professional pilot," thanks. Also, I still don't understand and will probably never watch the show, sooo I guess that's that

It was to bring awareness to lack of inter-cabin communication leading to plane crashes, at least that's what the episodes of that season i watched were about, I didn't see this episode specifically
