No,
The pilot attempted to use coordinated rudder, something that is difficult (actually impossible) to do in the A300 because of a design deficiency.
The A300 had VERY poor roll response in certain regimes (when they went from the B4 to the 600r model that AA has they deleted the ouboard ailerons and went to just about spoilers only for roll, in the quest for aerodynamic clean up of the aircraft)
The airplane crossed one wake rolling the aircaft one way, then another one rolling the aircraft in the other direction, the second wake caught the copilot by suprise and he attempted coordinated rudder.
It just so happens that in the A300 though, breakout force is about the same as the force required to reach the stop. so the rudder pedals at 250 knots are really full left and right toggle switches. Something you would never know because to need rudder at 250 knots is a once in a career sort of thing.
