Here's what I mean, let's say a pilot and his co-pilot are "Born-Again" and headed to heaven on the Jesus train. They get raptured midflight over the ocean, everyone on the plane would die in the crash, how do we know who was saved and who was just a victim of circumstance? Wouldn't this be unfair to those who didn't get raptured? Or is it "God's grace" that they get to miss the tribulation and go straight to hell?

Everyone one the plane has a chance to get right with God and be ready for the rapture.
Even today everyone has a opportunity to get right with God and be ready for the rapture. If a person chooses not to get right with God to day and then dies in a car crash or has a hart attack or even a plane crash, they will go to Hell because they were not ready.
It does not matter if you die in the Tribulation, before it, or after it. You know have the choice as to choose life with Jesus or to reject Jesus and choose death.
Your choice.

If they weren't raptured, they weren't saved. If they die in their sins, then God has to judge them. Is it fair, you ask? It certainly is for in this life, all those who hear or don't hear the Word at least have it "written upon the tables of the heart(conscience)", thereby confirming in each of us the knowledge of our sin and the need to be redeemed of them. If you don't take advantage of that opportunity, you risk judgment of hell on that fateful day.

This is easy: when the rapture happens, all the good Christians will disappear from Earth.
In their view, we (not-good-christians & non-christians) will be lost, and in our view, there won't be any good Christian on Earth anymore. Vanished.

There is not going to be a rapture.That is a doctrine made up by a woman named Margaret McDonald in the 19th century.

God is going to give successful applicants an 'I Got Raptured' badge, and the badges will glow in the dark in case Rapture happens during a power grid failure.

Wow. A little bitter, eh? If I was able to answer your question in a satisfactory manner, THEN would you stop dreaming up scenarios and start thinking about your own eternal destination?

people will be too busy to tell whose bodies are left.
and the latter question is one of those complex things that only God can answer because He knows all. you don't know that they didn't get a lot of chances beforehand, etc.

it wont be like that All Christians will be collected at the same time and only God needs to be concerned with this anyway.

shhhh
don't say it too loudly....
Jesus did come back, not in the way they are looking for it
in his own time he said the Kingdom of God is within you
According to Bible even Jesus said people would do this
they are looking for a literal event not the actual spiritual message
look to self for own salvation and help each other, that's the spirit of god
