Nice attempt at stirring the pot there sispanys but really all you've shown is your lack of understanding of multi-crew and aircraft operations. One can have control with the autopilot connected, it doesn't necessarily mean hand flying.
I certainly have lacks of understanding regarding pilots heroic actions with 175 ft of control at high fpm...Some will see airmanship in leaving the AP on, but I hardly imagine a pilot loosing both engines just watching at his AP killing the airspeed. Sorry if my questions are disturbing some of you (I wonder why) but I would like to understand these legitimate questions. Until the report is released, it's hard to affirm anything against or supporting the crew actions (except the cabin crews who obviously did a great job).
