Someone who hasn't been on the KoolAde diet should develop Machinbird's post #370 further.

The PF input began immediately with a Roll Left and Nose UP. His mayonnaise stirring looks bad, but it is as Mach has said, he wasn't getting input/response sequencing.

Once the a/c balked at responding to PF's first attempt to correct (read the report), he parted ways with the a/c. He became a HUNTER (attitude), not a gatherer. Well and good to condemn, but without the connection hand to craft, the flight path became independent of the cockpit's control.

PNF? He talks a good game, but he isn't in the mix, and I have doubts his results would have been different.

So, after taking control, the PF begins to handle an a/c that is not responding well. He lost the plot almost immediately. The entire CVR is a rehash of every Bus quirk known to man.

What's it doing? The posturers and imposters here are a bit full of themselves. Opinion? I doubt two of three crews could have recovered that flight. The Bus is not a pilot friendly a/c in the stink.

Unstick? And leave the a/c to meander about the sky? What a crock. Damned if you do, dead if you don't. Not a pleasant place, of a Summer Night in the Tropics.

I suppose the Bus Fans have no choice but to condemn this crew. The alternative is to repeat, "What's it doing Now?"
