So, captain and trainee in the pilot chairs, safety pilot on jump seat. Unless of course, turkish pilots train to fly from the jump seat.
I don't think it's been established yet who was sitting where. The 'trainee' could have been observing from the jump seat. Let's wait for the report.

If I understand well, it's pointing to a crew not spotting speed decay and stalling a perfectly serviceable aircraft.
I'm surprised the 737-800 doesn't have any protection against that.
ALL aircraft have protection against that sort of thing.....it's called a competent crew. Now I'm not saying this crew was incompetent as we don't know the cause of the accident yet. But, don't blame it on the airplane just yet.
