OC... It isn't that black and white. There are four degradations that can obtain post UAS. ALT1, ALT2, DIRECT, and ABNORMAL. PITCH and POWER are nothing if not offspring of MANUAL, why present one or more of these different concepts when ostensibly, P/P is always the Drill?
It would still come down to training wouldn't it? Me, I'm no Airbus pilot but those who post on this board seem to have no problems with the system as configured. One can legitimately argue that it can be improved but then so can everything. It's logical and it works so I would be very leery of attributing any causal factors to it. The issue is really the inability to analyse the UAS correctly and the unexplained stick movements by the PF (we all have our suspicions but we can't be certain). I would agree that P/P is the drill but if you don't get your initial analysis right then it becomes rather moot.
