The copilot was a dud.

The FO wants to watch the Captain screw it up,...
That's entirely conceivable. But in this case it's about staying alive. The pavement is on a plateau with a steep drop off at the end.

Now and then there comes a time when you either have to **** or get off the pot. The copilot, sitting on his hands for the last 88 seconds of his life, was a dud . . . because he lacked basic survival instinct.
