Just a question for the professionals -- The information provided suggests that the plane rolled significantly in excess of 90 degrees, yet the FO was able recover it to stable flight. Does that not suggest that this FO had some pretty good situational awareness and manual (aerobatic, indeed) flying skills? Or would this recovery have been automatic?
PS: it also seems to suggest that the 737 retains a lot of the aerobatic capability (without being torn apart) that Tex Johnson demonstrated in the Dash-80 (707 precursor).
