Very well but how can a crew fly the airplane if they are experienceing control troubles preventing them from establishing a correct pitch attitude ?
It is assuming they should have guessed what it took us weeks and thousands of exchanges and documents to determine.
It is sometimes as if what Boeing had assumed was right.
Why still abide by this flawed assumption, when we *know* that no one did even try it in the sim, let alone in flight ?
