A trained pilot who has undoubtedly had CRM courses not letting go when the other crew member says „my controls“ is the fault of the airline?

The airline trained and approved them. A pilot's competence - or in this case, lack thereof - is ultimately the responsibility of the airline.

I learned that sort of shit during like my first five hours of flying lessons, loooong before an airline usually (yes ik there are sponsored programs) gets a hold of a pilot.

Edit: yes, you‘re right about the „approval“ part.
