It's funny, everytime one of these things happen, everyone forgets there was copilot in the right seat.

'Gee captain, your getting kinda slow, maybe I can push the throttle up a little, push the stick forward'

Or is it that in the real world of airline hiring practices that the copilot is a seat warmer and not expected to participate in the flight.

I can't get worked up over this, everyone is getting exactly what they deserve and the authorities are just throwing darts when they know the cause: They aren't hiring capable pilots.
