Very little seems to have been said about the role the FO played in this incident.

I have said this previously but de facto this seems to be very much a case of subtle pilot incapacitation (or target fixation as others have mentioned).

The FO is the last line of defence in these situations.

I know it's a hard call for an FO to intervene but from the evidence presented he would have been quite justified in doing so.
