Shortly after Takeoff the Captain who was pilot flying had stick shaker on his side only. Why not transfer control to the first officer at this point or at least a little while later?
As as been pointed out many times, the first officer was fairly inexperienced. So imagine that you are an experienced captain in a plane on takeoff that has a fault which you have never seen before. How quickly would you hand your life over to the greenhorn?
