Reading the previous comments and answers, in additiom to my own observations of said boss and others of his ilk, I conclude that your chances are slim, and that your best bet is to convince your boss that you are not the pilot he is looking for.
This works better if you can blame someone already dead of course. They can't defend themselves, and while bosses of certain alignments have proven themselves capable of conversing with the deceased, your boss is not a part of that particular faction any longer.
