I like how Boeing ties the controls together.. this "averaging" deal seems flawed.
Actually, the Captain left the most junior pilot in command when he left:

Quote:
At approximately 2 am, the other co-pilot, David Robert, returns to the cockpit after a rest break. At 37, Robert is both older and more experienced than Bonin, with more than double his colleague's total flight hours. The head pilot gets up and gives him the left-hand seat. Despite the gap in seniority and experience, the captain leaves Bonin in charge of the controls
