Straw Hat Aircrew
I recently read a book about commercial planes and how the flight crew have to work together to get sh*t done and keep everyone safe, and I couldn't help but think of the Straw Hats.
In a given scenario of what-ifs and dire situations (like if it was one of those movies where some of the passengers—along with a bit of inexperienced air crew members find themselves having to fly a plane and get everyone to safety) what each Straw Hat would do. This is a mix of old and new aircrew/airline positions.
Usopp and Nami would have to both be captains. But I think Usopp would make a good Airborne Sensor Operator too—he’d somehow know how to gather information from an airborne platform. They'd both have to tell the pilots and officers what to do and where to go. I believe Nami would actually talk frequently with the air traffic controller, needing to know where to land and the closest airport. If the air traffic controller (ATC) was being an a**hole she’d set them straight. Usopp would be telling the first officer, second officer, and third officer where to go. He's one of the best communicators and strategists in the crew and would use his fear to his advantage. He can work extremely well under pressure. He'd be able to lead this thing. Mitigated speech would be out the window! Yet, I think Usopp and Nami would take turns sitting in the left seat
The officers (co-pilot, second officer, and third officer) would be the monster trio. Now I know this sounds crazy. But if you think about it, they're the three people in the crew who always jump into action. When sh*t gets serious they perform miracles. Luffy would immediately start attempting to fly the plane, Zoro would be the second one to jump in the piloting chair (but he’d need to listen to Usopp and Nami very very CLOSELY), and Sanji would initially be in a cabin position or in the parser role (cabin crew team leader), but he'd have to jump into that piloting chair if need be and help fly the d*mm thing since that's who Sanji is. He be manning the ship wheel sometimes in canon. Then Robin would take over as parser and reassure the passengers that everything is A-okay (morbid humor aside). Besides, Oda said Robin would be a flight attendant in the real world.
Franky would be the flight engineer (he'd be the dude who knows the ends and outs of the plane). Operating the complex airsystems. He'd have to let the captains and pilots know if an engines been blown out or what’s been damaged. He'd let them know how much gas is in the plane and if they're going to “land heavy”.
Chopper would be the flight medic who'd be there if a passenger so happened to be experiencing a medical emergency such as a passenger passing out or something like that. He'd communicate effectively with another medic/doctor (maybe someone like Law or Marco) stationed somewhere remotely who would tell him exactly what to do based on the specific ailment or issue.
Brook would be part of the cabin crew (stewards/flight attendant, parser, etc), and Jinbe would be part of the flight deck operations (with the captains and officers). If he needed to take over as a pilot (a bored/distracted Luffy or Zoro having issues like arguing with Sanji), he'd take over. So he'd be part of the relief crew. Brook would be a flight attendant, but he'd be a cool one who before take off tells the passengers how to be safe what to hold onto, and what not to do. What’s prohibited and not. Crack funny jokes and sing.
The Straw Hat crew would save the day and make a miracle landing.
Goodnight everyone 🤎
