"The so-called dead-head pilot on the earlier flight from Bali to Jakarta told the crew to cut power to the motor driving the nose down, according to the people familiar, part of a checklist that all pilots are required to memorize."
Apparently cutting power to the engine solves the automatic nosedive problem. And if cutting the engines is required on the emergency checklist, why did the off duty pilot have to tell the crew to do it? And why didn't the next crew follow the required checklist?
