I've said it before and I'll say it again. At 500 feet on approach, the PF out of nowhere dumps the flaps, flicks the master switches off and plants the stick full forward, all before you've had any time whatsoever to react. How are you going to recover that, exactly? There's two people in the cockpit and that didn't stop anything. Bring back a flight engineer sitting behind if you like, it would inevitably happen too fast for him to react either. Just how many bodies are we going to suggest cramming into the flightdeck before we realise that it is all pointless window dressing and that, if we have humans anywhere in the chain whatsoever, there is the small chance one will be a nut job with nefarious intentions, with the capacity for great harm.
