The biggest problem for this captain was knowing when to let these two rookies take command of his aircraft without him babysitting them.
Rookie? Babysit? Take command of
his aircraft?! What planet do you live on?
In today's real world both pilots are equally qualified to fly the aeroplane the main difference being that one has to sign the paperwork. To assume only the Captain is truly capable of aviating is to ask for another AirBlue crash (next thread down) where it was actually the FO that could fly and the Captain that killed them all.
The crash itself was not caused by flying through the storm or the the Captain going to sleep, it was caused by two qualified pilots not recognising a stall. As playstation says any person qualified to fly any aeroplane should recognise a stall, one doesn't have to be a Captain.
