On malfunctioning Boeing Max, captain had the flu and copilot was a sub

As Lion Air Flight 610 bucked and weaved through clear skies over the Java Sea, the captain frantically urged his first officer to run through an emergency checklist.

In the cockpit of the Boeing Co. 737 Max, alarms were blaring, air traffic controllers were on the radio issuing instructions and the copilot was desperately searching the manual trying to find the checklist.

“Where is the…?” the copilot said, according to a partial transcript contained in a 322-page report on the jet’s doomed flight issued Friday by Indonesia’s National Transportation Safety Committee.

The captain reminded him again what to look for as the cockpit recorder picked up the sound of paper being shuffled.
