Studi, first of all I know hundreds of wide body boeing pilots and not one of them would pull up to a 15 degree deck angle at 35,000 ft and expect to survive. We all know it would cause a full stall. We learned this in our basic Cessna trainer. I don't think any competent pilot on this thread can say what the PF did made any sense at all. You shouldn't have to teach common sense in flight training.
