Regarding my mentioned experience where a A319 did not respond to a nose down SS input: for the brief moment I was in an updraft, the nose did not follow the input - once I flew out of the updraft the nose came down and we continued as if nothing had happened......... Knowing that pitch is load factor demand, and being in a updraft/downdraft/updraft/downdraft situation, and considering that the nose came down as soon as I passed the building cumulus, and considering that the Bus behaved normally the rest of the flight, I chalked it up to being in an Airbus. To me, it was no different than waiting for the MCDU to finish "updating" the page. Airbus pilots will know what I'm talking about.
Sorry Clandestino, but you're being overly dramatic. No report was made because none was necessary.
