I'm not saying it was definitely a factor in this instance, but it certainly was in Joburg.
NO IT WASN'T
J'oburg was bad technique, as taught or learnt. The rotation technique is basically the same on all 3 EK aircraft, as it is in all Airbus. 2.5-3 degrees/second
towards your target pitch.
There were other factors included stupid rostering etc, but it wasn't the fact that the crew were MFF.
