Another thing that can surprise you, is that there is no training for "dead stick" landings (dual engine failure), in any airline of the world.
Maybe not, but there have been instances before where all power has been lost and crew have "controlled" the AC. i.e. a BA 747 SIN to PER when it encountered volcanic ash over Indonesia and lost all 4 engines. They did manage to re-start them before their collision with the planet.
I think that all PF would have innate ability to naturally react to flight needs - as in this case where it was reported that PF lowered the nose to stop the stick-shaker.
