A comment in Flying e-magazine today ........The airline determined that the captain, who had flown for Southwest for 13 years, took control of the airplane from the first officer at about 400 feet on the approach in violation of company procedures..........

??? What's this all about ?? Is it a violation of Company procedures to take over control if the co-pilot is not doing the job properly and maybe about to kill you !!

I know nothing of the circumstances causing the change of control, if indeed it did happen, so I repeat ........ what's this all about, did the Captain take over control just for the fun of it ?
