Single pilot plus somebody on board for doing the radios....
I'm not sure there was any pilot on board! Even if you consider it to be a single pilot operation, the captain had very little idea of what he was doing. He seemed to be grabbing bits & pieces of various experiences he had had in the sim & never displayed any rational, coherent, thought out, logical sequence to handle the situation. Not to mention adherence to any form of SOP.


It still amazes me how many of these people not only manage to get into the front seats, but manage to stay there. I wonder about the standards of training & checking.


Not wanting to flare up the cadet debate, but it is interesting to me to see the total time vs time on type numbers for both pilots.
