"Veteran ERAU pilot" embarrasses herself onTV

Stick shaker at 0:49 with a possible secondary stall, GPWS "sink rate" at 1:49. Who decided to not only let her come play dress up and pretend to be an airline pilot in the sim, but then also actually air this display on national TV?

Ya but she was photogenic, and she's perfect for their target audience (20/20). So it's all good.
At least they used a real sim -- not some overused generic, stock footage "cockpit" like "Air Disasters" uses.

For the wrong airplane though... I guess I just don't understand why they went to ERAU in the first place to watch a Cessna instructor play around in a CRJ sim when there's no shortage of 737 sims or pilots that are actually qualified to fly airliners.
