It's my understanding that generally there isn't much difference between the captain of an aircraft and the co-pilot; they're both fully qualified to fly the plane they're on, so having the co-pilot land a plane isn't a big deal in and of itself. That's why he's there, after all, for exactly this situation among others, although of course I'm sure it was kinda freaky to have a co-worker just up and die on you.
