Nice to see the old "whats the difference between FOs and ducks?" still routinely rears its ugly head.

The PF was not properly monitoring the automatics during the approach, and the plane crashed when the captain took control of the stall recovery without putting his hands on the thrust levers. FOs (and captains!) practicing raw data, manual flight is a good thing, but the lack of was not the cause in this accident.

Still, at least ducks can fly!
