Bad data messing with autoflight is certainly not Airbus-specific. With Airbus FBW, the protections do not "take over", they limit and constrain attitude.
No need for a procedure Dozy ? Would you still think that way if you were a pax on that 330 ?
Read what I wrote - this incident appears to be related to a new piece of equipment applied to the AoA vanes. Prior to the installation of this equipment this did not happen. If I were SLF on that flight I'd hope something would be done quickly (which it has been), but one can't really ask for more than that!
