Your right, the backup was supposed to be the guys in the drivers seat.
Man-on-man, while the Captain had his ATP he sure did not have much knowledge of his aircraft!!!! The copilot sounds like he was there for W&B purposes.
Remind me to stay with the scheduled carriers in the future!

Spent a fair amount of time traveling in out of the way places in foreign countries and learned from 1st hand experience that when you see an expat 1st officer and a local 2ed you may only have a one pilot cockpit. You are betting your life that the expat pilot has enough knowledge to overcome inherent problems.
Then you wonder why he had to take that job instead of one in his home country.
Happy Landings
