RA and S/O did nothing?
I have heard from multiple people that recently in the cruise while the Captain or RQ was in the bathroom there was a RA and the S/O completely froze and did nothing.
Has this actually happened, and if so, if this is not a wake up call then what is?

True....but with a caveat.....what if the low time no experience and under trained s/o reefed on the stick at altitude? Another hull loss.....the outcome wasnt good that he did nothing but it probably was the best outcome considering how low the training is racing to the bottom across the whole industry and not just this particular airline.....

That doing nothing probably resulted in the best outcome in this situation... That we've come to this is so f*cked up I don't even know where to begin...
The guy didn't know what to do and claimed "he wasn't taught it in the sim". That's what I heard anyway.
Date/flight number?

Part if the upgrade syllabus??
It's part of the S/O syllabus! Forgetting the Autothrottle or Flt Directors is one thing, but not responding to the manoeuver command is way past excusable. If you can't handle a TCAS R/A in cruise, you shouldn't hold a licence - an S/O, F/O or CN.

How many of you have been shown what happens when a heavy, swept wing aircraft enters the stall (not incipient - full stall) at a high weight and altitude?
How many of you can accurately describe the characteristics of this stall, the AOA it occurs at, and approximately how many thousands of feet the recovery takes?

Do you even work for CX? I suspect if you did, you would know the sequence of the M3/6 and what is tested - and taught - to every candidate.
Alarmist proselytizing serves no one but the (news)papers.

That CX didn't terminate the individual involved is tacit admittance of a systemic failure.
It's starting to verge on negligence what's going on with recruitment/training. Is this why CX has completely stopped recruiting locals? (apart from those already on a cadet course). According to the third floor drunks, all new hires in 2015 are to be xpats.
I wonder what CAD made of that MOR ASR?
Or does the negligence extend beyond the training department?
