Yep, but to be fair the roll rate command worked "perfectly" e.g. made it harder to recognize a stall. A conventional plane would have rolled...., dived and regained speed! A deadly trap IMHO.
AF447 was in alternate2 where it does not hold bank. Roll stability is natural like conventional aircraft and not computer generated. 1g flight path stability with auto trim is the main philosophy of Airbus FBW. It demands much less handling skills than conventional aircraft and that's what has made Airbuses popular. 447 was a massacre of the Innocents. They simply had no clue of what happened, what they should do and lastly what they were doing. Aircraft are to be flown by competant enough people. If anyone can sit there then pilots won't be paid so much. Come to think of it if it hadn't happened that night, over a period of time the crew would have amassed thousands of hours and would have been considered competant while hiding the fatal weakness all along. A350 has alternate speed system which should make UAS now a thing of the past.
