We need to focus the complaint at the root cause. It is not THAT difficult to fly a low level off after take-off - more difficult than just plugging in the A/P at 400' and unfolding the 'Delhi Times', yes, but not THAT hard! Indeed, a way of life at Nice and sometimes Tel Aviv.

It is the way the crew appeared to have mis-handled the event that should be our concern. It is probably always going to happen at sometime in every pilot's life. Of course it is not ideal, but let's not blame ATC, eh?
