The girl may have been a good pilot. Look into her background.
Captain has the responsibility to take over when necessary
He should of tracked her rate of decent on the approach.

He should have been sand bagging with a current captain at the stick. Period

This wasn't a training flight. She had her ratings and was at the controls. If she wasn't capable of a routine landing in Toronto, she had the obligation to say so.

She was Pilot In Command (PIC), as the "sole manipulator of the controls", because she needed to build her hours for the airline.

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) ยง 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.

This is politically correct BS. She was flying the plane and obviously should not have been behind the controls of a large, commercial airliner. She obviously panicked and crashed the plane, which is not surprising given that she is a 26 y/o former beauty queen. To try to whitewash this as the captain’s fault because he is the captain is LOL. This is Exhibit #1 for why DEI is dangerous.
