Sorry if I have to be rude to you:
Did you care to read the report of BEA ???
What do you think 'Nose-up Input maintained by the PF' means ??
What is ambiguous about this statement ?
I'm completely at a loss how the first reaction of our conspiracy brigade (not only you) can be total denial of the most basic and easily determinable findings of the FDR i.e. sidestick position???
Yes it is difficult to understand why a pilot would pitch up signifcantly after loss of airspeed indications but the sensation of turbulence can play nasty tricks on you. Maybe they hit some bumps or holes in the air during AP disconnect and lost some altitude exactly at that moment. Such things can be badly misleading....
