It's amazing that a seemingly seasoned crew would introduce major rudder deflections in a jet airplane with 3000psi hydraulics and triple PCUs. To do this at 36000 feet is asking for certain death. Feet belong on the floor, point blank period. When aileron is exhausted and the airplane continues to roll, it may be appropriate but the first instict should be aileron and reducing AOA.
