(I let the right seat go first. If it sounds good, we go with it.)

3. You do it.

Both crew members work as a team. Not the captain barking out orders.

With such a short time between Quack, Bang and Skip - I’m betting the CVR will show CRM in action to the maximum level.
So true! In fact, they may not have had enough time to run all the check lists completely. I once had to return to SEA after what we suspected was an electrical fire just after take off. That check list was too long to get the airplane on the ground, so we improvised and overcame. You have to know your aircraft and this crew of both qualified pilots - not just THE PILOT as the news hounds refer - did an excellent job. My hat and wings are off to them!
