"Flying Pilot", "Support Pilot", okay?
Completely irrelevant. Its just a word, semantically it means the same. One pilot is flying the plane, one pilot is monitoring actions, controls, dials, levers, switches, whatever you want. Thats their job, call it support, monitoring, checking, whatever you want.They didnt do their job properly, they werent aware of what was going on, they didnt think hmmm, I selected full flaps before, how can I be doing it again, I wonder what I moved last time, etc etc.
