A340 Rotation Problems

I just saw the linked article in the Daily Digest of the Aviation Week Network.

The link:

The problem seems to have been limited to overly shallow takeoff rotations from the high elevation environment of Bogota El Dorado Airport in Columbia. Could this problem be related to lack of side stick feedback feel while trying to avoid a tail strike? It would seem to me, given adequate airspeed etc., that it would be instinctive to apply whatever pitch was required to maximize climb and terrain/obstacle avoidance.

Cheers,
Grog
