Perhaps Capt Renslow thought he had encountered a windshear...if so, then wouldn't the procedure be to call for "radar" (max) power and try to fly it out on the edge of the stickshaker?
Or perhaps he had no clue what he was doing?
Basic stall recovery was needed, but even after 6.7 seconds of stall warning they both did the wrong thing...Sad really.
In a windshear situation PF clearly announces it and PNF
does not change the configuration of the aircraft until, PF calls for
and A/C is out of it. Firewall levers and use maximum possible lift available, if necessary, on the edge of the stickshaker.
To announce what one is doing, especially in a
knife edge situation, is basic airmanship.
They were in over their heads.
There just aren't enough qualified, experienced pilots out there to crew all the flights around the world. That's the price SLFs pay for being able to go anywhere, anytime at Greyhound prices.
Couldn't agree more. I think this is a consequence of the neo-liberalism
wave that dragged us all to the worst recession since the 30's.
