The Pilot was found in the cockpit by Jack, Kate, and Charlie. He asked how many survivors there were, and became concerned when he found out that it had been sixteen hours since the crash and nobody had come yet.
He says, "Six hours in, our radio went out; no one could see us. We turned back to land in Fiji. By the time we hit turbulence, we were a thousand miles off course. They're looking for us in the wrong place."
He then showed Jack and Kate where the transceiver was, and crawled out of the front cockpit windows to look around. Sounds of The Monster approached, and he was "ripped" out from the plane. Moments later, what appeared to be blood splashed across the front of the plane. He was later found mangled and in a tree by Kate and Charlie.
He had coffee with Claire before the flight. Promised her a "smooth ride" (depicted in flashback scene in extras on Disc 7 of Season 1 DVD collection). During the same extra, he states that his father's name is Bernard. However, since we know from S.O.S. that Bernard was a bachelor before meeting Rose, it's safe to assume this is just a coincidence.
It's interesting to note that the pilot died in the very first episode. Thus, the pilot was killed in the pilot.
