And in Indonesia the crew simply had an auto-throttle roll back and lost the aircraft and all onboard. Yes, there are good pilots and bad pilots, usually separated by good training and bad training.
Generally it’s easiest and best to turn into the failed engine and it would have been right in this case. Other things though play a roll such as quickest way around to where you want to go and the pilot flying may simply want to turn toward their side. If you tell a pilot sitting in the left seat to turn either way they want, 99% of the time they turn left.
I agree strongly with the other comments on the professionalism shown by the crew and ATC, a wonderful example for future pilots on the importance of staying calm, I'm so impressed!
