Panic, caused by sudden realization that something is wrong but one has no clue what it is or what should be done
You been very explicit, but you do not deliver us all your thoughts ..
What you said ( if I read between the lines .. "a grand art" ) is that the person in charge had not to be there because it is incapable of knowing what is happening or know what to do ...
If it was a truck driver who has had his place .. it would be understandable that he does not understand what happend when the autopilot is going off
This is not the case .. this pilot ( driver ?) is an employee of Air France .. selected by Air France and trained in his trade and followed by assessments made by Air France and under the supervision of regulators rules
Why Air France or the regulators in the first place let fly an A330 by a truck driver ?
That's not funny for the people at the rear ... when they hear a hostess ask if there is pilot in the cabin ...
