Just remember that when you get all fired up over XXX story == it's probably a load of BS.

If you’re a professional pilot and you let and emergency situation degrade to the point where:
A) You get stick shaker activation. Twice.
B) It gets dramatic and exciting.
C) You’re glad you had your seatbelt on at the end of it.
You’re doing something wrong.
On another note. Way to go ERAU for doing exploiting a well handled emergency for the sake of a few minutes of media exposure. Looks like nothing has changed since I left.

It looks like she demonstrated a stall for the reporter and they just edited that footage in during the engine out to make it look more interesting/scary.
Look at the EICAS during the stall, both engines look normal to me however the stall supposedly happens after the engine goes out.
Sneaky editing, unfortunately she gets made to look like an idiot, although what do I know maybe she is.

So they demonstrated a secondary stall to go with the first one?
I've lost 3 motors flying 121 jets and had a rapid D as well.
Don't ever remember taking off my head set to put on the O2 mask or seemingly panicking upon losing an engine.
You should really be stable on SE as to not risk a go around and she got "sink rate".
I'm embarrassed for Riddle.

I've never flown the CRJ, but the one thing that stood out to me was that she was flying an aircraft, that I thought required a minimum crew of two, as a single-pilot emergency.
I think if I, or any rational pilot, were asked to do a filmed simulator session, without the minimum FAA required crew, for a major news outlet, immediately declining would be obvious..
Why does she turn and ask for the emergency checklist? Who is she talking to?
