The non-handling F/O therefore seems to have been reticent to act decisively and instead defers to the Captain, calling him back from rest.
Staggering! Was it not the case, s someone has said, that these pilots did not come from the 'new generation'. From this I would suppose that they had considerable experience and that the SFO was on the command upgrade list. Why then not exercise the qualities one would look for in a suitable future commander? It is unbelievable that 2 trained & experienced pilots could not recover this a/c, and they felt that only the captain could save the day. Anyone who is in the same (boat) should return their salary forthwith.
