Still fewer are aware that a Captain can sometimes be more effective in an emergency situation when he is not the handling pilot.
Possibly the Turkish accident at Schipol as an example. I could be infered that the Captain taking control exacerbated the situation and critically hindered the recovery. From the report the F/O appeared to be the first to react and I suspect that had he remaining in control the thrust levers would not have returned to idle.
