Probably yes, just I wonder if captain would pull the way as FO did. But considering the trimmed stabiliser in the position all the way NU it is questionable if captain would have a chance to figure out what to do.
My question is also aimed at usual practice in such cases when senior officer bypasses a junior in an emergency. I am a consultant partly involved into emergency and safety procedures and senior taking over control is one of the paramount rules in almost every industry. So I was wondering if in aviation there is a similar concept. I remember Sullenberger took over really fast after the Flight 1549 went into trouble although I understand he WAS already seated in captain's position.
