The captain should have either taken over or called for a go-around. I’m sure the NTSB will hold him responsible.

My question as well.....why didnt the captain take over?
Could he have been told not to.....to give her credit?
Negative. Every qualification she had was from the FAA. If she wasn't qualified, it's on her FAA examiners. This wasn't a training flight. She was at the controls as pilot in command.
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) § 91.3 Responsibility and authority of the pilot in command.
(a) The pilot in command of an aircraft is directly responsible for, and is the final authority as to, the operation of that aircraft.
