Any pilot flying an aircraft with autotrim should know that his trim will follow his stick imputs, shouldn't he?

Isn't it one of the basic skill needed for one wanting to be rated for a specific type? What makes you think that many FBW pilots don't know exactly in what mode their aircraft is operating?
Blah .. blah ...
So .. when read all this .. my feeling is:
The pilots were rated on type ... but nevertheless were not qualified for the situation of AF447 was
They had not knowledge of basic flying skills
They don't know how the Airbus systems work
So we can conclude that:
The formation and training of those pilots is very low
So Air France bear all the responsibility for this accident by not providing adequate training to their pilots or not detecting by exams (simulator) that those pilots were not qualified for fly a Airbus A330
At least and even if this above is not entirely true .. Air France stay bear the responsibility of this accident as the contract between Air France and their passengers was to transport them from A to B and they failed....
Are my feelings good ?
