So obviously it is quite important to have some specific information on the way the 500 serie behaves during rotation.
The way I understand it, that behavior is almost an involuntary invitation for a dual input when the guy on the left/right side don't know what is done on the other side ...
IF the triple strikes is confirmed, it could be an indication of CIO (Crew Induced Oscillation) ... Only a thought of course.

So there is here a real possibility for the crew to receive wrong data especially regarding cargo weight, so the crew determines a FLEX that does not match the real GW in case of substantial cargo was loaded without notice to the crew.

Getzo, as you do have facts, how much cargo was on board that airplane ?
225 pax cannot justify a 50 tonnes PAYLOAD matching your EZFW of 227 tonnes ... Did you try the average pax + baggage weight ?
