In an outstanding case of CRM, it was an off-duty deadheading training captain that saved the day in the Sioux City UAL accident. He was the only one "flying" the aircraft (and in fact learn to fly it from scratch), using the only available control: #1 & #3 throttles.

Any airline that has not studied and accounted for this (admittedly very remote) case is missing the CRM boat.
