Dasher 8,the Boss was actually doing the landing as it was a monitored approach. So don't blame the poor FO who is actually quite an experienced fellow himself!

And wrt to Airbus only allowing one stick authority,this is true but an instructor is able to take over by disconnecting the F/o sidestick by depressing the A/P disconnect for a specified time period.
