In Post #751, I mentioned 3 QRH procedures which specify the use of Full Back Stick. It is not mentioned anywhere that the "piloting technique" of respecting Alpha Max should be employed, and to relax the back pressure / reduce the angle of attack when very close.
If in Normal Law, the piloting technique of respecting Alpha Max is not trained, then there is a chance that some crews won't respect it in Alternate Law either.
"Alternate law and protections lo"(st) was verbalize by PNF after a slight delay from its onset. PF did not verbally acknowledge this. PNF did not press the issue.
PF was not to be aware of his climb to max altitude due to his stick back.
