That's rather like comparing apples to oranges. In the case of the Aeroflot A310, the pilot's son had control of the aircraft. The Captain hadn't delegated command to the co-pilot. The boy in this case was merely parroting his father's words and wasn't controlling anything.
Having said that though, it was still wrong to allow the child to relay directions. A strong reprimand would be more appropriate that a sacking.
