Whatever you might think about my opinion, you can't just criticize one crew for its lack of speed monitoring and congratulate the other for a similar lack of speed monitoring...
S.F.L.Y., this is not correct.
The BA crew _was_ monitoring the airspeed. They noticed it dropping and attempted to correct with thrust. How they should of reacted - leaving autopilot in or not, speed, attitude, etc - could be debated. (And to be clear, I am not debating it myself - not qualified to do so). But they certainly were aware of what was happening.
The Turkish crew was _not_ monitoring speed; they did not notice it dropping.
