No it doesn't - it needs some answers!
Who was in the the flight deck?
Why did they did get into the weather?
No one knows !! but if the captain was in his seat, then another F/O would have been in the right hand one.
If the captain was on his break, then, the most experienced F/O would have been in the right hand seat. That's AF SOP for long haul crew relief so that the one in charge of let's say an emergency descent does it from the seat he is used to.
To tell you the truth, given the catastrophic system meltdowns, I can't see myself being able to fly the aircraft in a such a weather and no attitude indicator.
Why ???? When you answer that one give me a call.
