I'm writing with some very old notes, I may traipse back a couple years, the notes are not mine, apologies. My understanding is the pilots were without any reliable instrumentation re: AoA. If one is committed to, and experiencing stable cruise flight, attitude is critical when things go bump? Pitch is in there?

Abnormal? I count three Law hurdles between Normal and Direct. Also the a/c can go direct/Direct with pilot input, yes? Touch the wheel, bypass A1,A2, and Ab. No one will get fired without offers of employment elsewhere, I think.
