I don't blame pilot training.
There still isn't an AoA input to Attitude or Thrust though. Which is what I said in my first post.
And specifically said I was not commenting on the wider arguments by doing so.
Edited for clarity.
As a humble SLF, my question would be 'How does the average Joe Pilot react when his airplane is unexpectedly trimming ever more nose down?'
How can the pilot control attitude when the airplane will not stay trimmed?
It seems much harder imho to resolve this when a part of the mechanism is repeatedly acting independently of (and perhaps contrary to) the controls.
When the system is that far out of bounds, how can the pilot trust whatever thrust or attitude indicators that remain?
