Re: armrest. Whether a deviation from ergonomic neutral, or not, something chronic was at play, and makes the PF look stubborn to climb, when he very well may have been stubbornly seeking level. The a/c demonstrates a chronic Nose drop and right roll throughout the descent in final flight path. Each of his (Initial) corrections could easily have been misinterpreted by him, and been incremental climb orders instead of 'returns to level' (or to 3 degrees PU). His screen was not recorded.
