The commander was not there until afterwards, AIUI. Nor was he there for the whole 3+ minutes of the descent. When he returned, he was not told that the SW had gone on for 54 seconds in one session, and twice more briefly when PF tentatively tried less SS NU, also AIUI.
(No doubt one of the real experts who have thoroughly analysed the FDR and CVR times will correct me if I am wrong.)
It seems to me that the commander was dealt a difficult hand to deal with at that stage. Would all his critics have sussed it out with the same limited exposure and briefing (or lack of it)?
