One thing that puzzles me is why the CAPT did not take control assertively. He is 100% responsible for a/c. Did he feel FO was more situationally aware? Perhaps another similarity with AF447 is CAPT being out of his seat at the time of zoom climb by FO .
Contrast this Air Asia incident / AF447 incident with the very public Hudson incident (quote from flight 1549 NTSB report):
HOT-1 my aircraft.
15:27:24
HOT-2 your aircraft.
15:27:24.4
FWC [sound of single chime]
15:27:25
CAM [sound similar to electrical noise from engine
igniters begins]
15:27:26.5
FWC priority left. [auto callout from the FWC. this occurs
when the sidestick priority button is activated
on the Captain's sidestick]
Note CAPT disables FO SS inputs after verbally taking control. This is pro-active action taking control immediately and without waiting for any dual input warning messages.
