I did not noticed that. If it's part of the CVR/FDR table, "co-pilot" would apply for RHS (PF); PNF imputs are correctly labelled "Captain". If part of the narrative, where? (usually they add the seat?)

It makes
0212:04 - 12:07 - PF said "I have the impression that we have some crazy speed, no? what do you think?", and he deploys spoilers. PNF correct him "No! above all don't deploy (them)"; they were retracted immediately (~5 seconds from graph). Captain added nothing.
