When you have been in a microburst it is not something that gives you some vague feeling of unease, you very quickly know that things are not right, bigtime
Too true.
For whatever reason the co-pilot seems to have been way behind the aircraft.
How about because he had 1200hrs total time. 900 of which were spent sitting beside people who had a different language and culture while he was not permitted by SOP's to fly the aircraft below 5000ft. How on earth could he have developed a scan let alone good stick and rudder skills under those circumstances. There will be obvious mistakes made by the crew but the real cause, in my opinion, will most likely be decisions made by the company and the regulator.
