The later pitch (not AVIAT.) in this thread seems familiar to me ... and I don't like it.
Having said that and not flying heavy iron:
I can understand not noticing split throttles timely.
I can understand not noticing a rudder input by AP (which can be ruled out due to 2 channels only?)
I cannot understand not noticing a significant aileron input by AP during wings level climb.
Maybe some 737 classic driver can elaborate on that?
