I'm still hoping some with Airbus A330/340 experience will be willing to discus their experiences with Alt 2 Law. This version of Alternate law is a 'Roll Direct' mode of operation.
How much training do pilots get in this mode?

If the aircraft was laterally imbalanced when you assumed control, wouldn't you have a heck of a time keeping the wings level? (Particularly if you are one of those AB pilots who routinely flies cruise with feet on the floor.)

I can see some serious potential for interference with proper pitch control until the aircraft is trimmed up with the rudder.
