AFAIK, it still takes the Retard from No1RA and the Flare from No2RA.
TRC raised an interesting point
the distinct possibility that the junior crew might have been reluctant to report to, or comment to the captain that things weren't as they should be.
I wonder if the Turkish culture is anything like the Far East culture? You don't make the Captain lose face, you don't tell hinm his mistakes. We have seen copilots prepared to sit there and die rather than take a stand for safety (and see themselves canned when they survive). I gather it still goes on in the Far East. Is Turkish culture remotely like this?
