Yes, a pilot monitoring is supposed to make sure the aircraft is handled properly. He didn't so everybody died. The PF did everything wrong and pulled up into a full stall with PM letting him. Unless airlines get better FO's this will continue to happen. The captain is required to take his rest break so make sure the two pilots up front know what they are doing. These two didn't have a clue because they were autopilot monitors and couldn't hand fly their aircraft, only the captain could who was on his break.
