On what basis would you make such a derogatory remark? I happen to have flown with the Captain in the military and in the same airline, and he was a competent, unassuming pilot with a wealth of experience. The crew were presented with a flight control anomaly that was well outside of normal bounds, and got everyone on the ground in one piece. It was some time later before any rational guidance on what to do with an errant FBW system came from the OEM. The Airbus is less friendly in this case than the B777 or 787, where it is a simple matter to remove the FBW inputs and degrade to a B747.
Unless you have been confronted with a dynamic life threatening situation where you shoulder the immediate responsibility for the welfare of some hundreds of other people, I would hold your own counsel in mute ignorance.
