Fairly poor airmanship I muss say. Everyone walked away but the outcome could easily be much worse.
I'm sorry but I don't buy the "demoted to first officer in March 2014 and that his salary would reduce significantly" bit as a contributing factor - I sympathize with his predicament but a professional can not allow such outside factor to impede on his performances. And if it did he was simply unfit for flight and should have reported as such.
