PanPanPanYouself,

May I suggest it's THY.

My Boeing FCTM dated Oct 31, 2003 for the 737 300-900 says on page 7.26:

THY, it appears, are lying.

The THY crew failed to execute a mandatory go-around, failed to monitor the instruments, failed to recover from the onset of a stall and failed to recover from a fully developed stall.

Previous crews had the same fault on the previous flights - but recovered within a few seconds. Those crews failed to report the fault though.

Autopilots and autothrottles always have to be monitored (especially close to the ground) since they are prone to failure. It's what pilots are meant to do.
