What an asshole. The pure irresponsibility and lack of respect for his fellow crewmembers/passengers is astounding.
I 've never really seen non-American pilots as our equal. They all seem to do shit like this at a much higher rate than we do.

Not “extremely difficult” per se. Plenty of power available being at sea level. Pilot has to be diligent for sure, but in these advanced aircraft with mechanical mixing, it’s essentially just pulling up on the collective enough to not hit the water. Obviously his skill ran out
