Air Central (ANA feeder) Captain let FA's take controls

Story of a pilot with Air Central (based in Tokoname, Japan), operating a Fokker 50 as an ANA feeder, letting the FA's take the controls from the right seat. The article is less than insightful, but key points are;

1. Happened on Dec 14, 2007
2. Aircraft was on a repositioning leg with no pax.
3. The Japanese Construction and Transport Ministry just found out on Friday.
4. Ministry talk of suspending the pilot.
