Indian Jet Plummets 7000' because co-pilot moved seat.

[Raoul Duke]

come on, we have all done it. The seat will not go back far enough but if you could just get a little more leverage you know it will go back another couple of inches. The best way to do that is to use the yoke as a good foot rest to push off of when you have the handle pulled to move the seat. Works every time, tends to cost a bit of altitude. . .

Maybe the FO was just a complete idiot.

The aviation agency report concluded that the 25-year-old co-pilot had not been trained in the specific scenario the jet encountered and “probably had no clue to tackle this kind of emergency.”

I guess it's now an "emergency" when the autopilot clicks off.
