What was the PM in this case the FO doing? Should have alerted prior to it going this far.
Doesn't the article say he did speak up..... ?
Exactly, the FO did call out that they were too low. At ROD 2,200 ft/min it was all happening pretty quickly. They pulled up 1,900 ft below the glideslope which sounds like it took 45 seconds or so to realise the situation was awry and fix it.
Lucky it wasn't NZQN.
