so they shut down the good motor. Simple mistake. BUT then they lost control over the aircraft and lost all ability to maybe just maybe do what Sculley did in the New York river....
I would love to see all the accidents in the last ten years where gross mishandling was an issue and compare that to the pilots actual flying experience.
And with actual flying experience i mean pilots who flew real aeroplanes before they got into airlines. Its all very well to have 10000 hours - but if its all airline time you have virtually zero actual flying time. You only have take off and landing time. The rest was autopilot.
So far just recently AF447, the recent Air Asia A 320 and both these ATR crashes in Taiwan most likely had pilots whose aircraft handling was not up to scratch because they were airline button pushers from day 1......
