From the time the PIC took over below the minimums he was only fixated to sighting the RW and landing and when he didn't sight the RW he was just frozen. The report indicates that even at 20ft. with a ROD 1136ft/mt except verbalizing a GA precious little else was done, no change in pitch, no triggering of Go Levers only a mere 3% manual increase of N1. Every airline has SOPs but the actual monitoring of it and the culture prevailing will decide the outcome in crunch situations. If this captain would have pulled off this landing and became an object of admiration instead of censure then it is a matter of time this co-pilot will attempt it and may not be able to pull it off.
