BIG deal BIG risk
Dozy come back when you got some experience.
You're also avoiding the fact that holding the stick back like that at cruise is a thoroughly inappropriate response no matter what you're flying.
I have never made a secret that the attitude control was
inappropriate.
It is not before the THS was at 13 deg that 'the stick was hold back like that'.
And thank you for reminding that holding back a flight control is inappropriate. I'm sure the PNF and the CPT would have loved to know about it when the PF was doing it ...
