I agree, getting the captain back up to the cockpit is a bit lame. He should have taken over and not let him do his silly full stick up sh#t. I think they were both autopilot monitors, not pilots. He didn't have the confidence to take over so called for the captain. Pretty pathetic. When I was flying we didn't have anybody that weak because they had been flying for 10 years at least with our airline and had the confidence to take comand. I couldn't get hired until i had 5500 hrs, lots in jets as PIC including 4 engine jets.
AF hires them fresh out of school and they monitor autopilots.
