Just started listening and the whole NPC crewman death thing is really nicely covered by Sandro in the first question on this week's lave radio.

Summary?

Basically a) the crewmen level up faster than we do and b) if they never died you'd get one set of crew and that would be the end of it.

IMHO - this is silly. Why not have them quit the job instead. And pay them some cash as well. Or pay them a lot to get a 2nd chance. If they don't accept, ... they can move on, we move on, path departed. But have them die? "Like, oh, sorry, my T9 has not enough space for a 2nd escape capsule *oops*"
.
I still would be attached to my pilot, and if he leaves, I still would be sad. Same as dead, but fits nicer with the Elite lore.
.
This and insta transfer are the 2 things I really find are odd decisions made for 2.2.

Honestly, I think it'll be safe for you to assume they quit. As I mentioned earlier, you're bound to see their name reappear in the crew section eventually.
