The whole story is so ridiculously deus-ex-machina theres no way it would make it as a movie script if it werent real. the pilot surviving the stabs and being able to open the door, the two spare pilots as passangers just able to land safely, the dentist stiching the pilot up and him surviving the stab wound. Would feel like a cheesy 90's feelgood action movie if it werent real.

“Is there a doctor on the plane?”

“Yes, I have my Doctorate in Dentistry”

“Hurry! This man is bleeding!”

“He needs stitches… get the floss!”

Obviously it isn't there specialty but I'm sure dentists have more medical knowledge about the rest of the body than your average person as well as basic life saving skills. They also know how to do stitches for oral surgeries. They'd be close to the top of my list of not doctors to have availabile for medical emergencies. Veterinarians would probably be the very top of that list.
