Those are my questions as well. No doubt she is a fine and capable pilot. But if she was working the radio, isn’t it most likely she wasn’t flying the plane? Running checklists and communications, yes. Flying... probably not, unless it was a situation like 232 where both pilots plus a third jumpseater had to physically keep the plane straight.

Boy, you all don’t watch Air Disasters, do you? You’d know that is standard operation and expected.
