'Baby' pilot at controls of doomed Air France Airbus
That is when Bonin - who remained at the controls while Robert shouted with increasing desperation for the captain - did something that aviation experts have described as inexplicable: he pointed the nose of the Airbus upwards, causing it to slow down dramatically.
Shouting for the Captain? ((WTF? Call me a monday morning quarterback, but))
How about lower the nose, level the wings, add power.
