Blubbers44m Spot on. I have been following this(s) threads for a long while. Clearly a combination of lack of basic flying skills by at least one, lack of ability to take command of the situation (other FO, he knew something was wrong but did not act) and the poor captain who opened the door and saw a freakin mess.
I still say we need basics in the cockpit, some glider and acro time (just an intro course will do) and at least two pilots on board who know more then FMS operation. Not harsh at all. However that being said it is easy to point fingers from the comfort of your living room.
