Lyman, not really possible in an Airbus in Normal or either of the A330 Alternate Laws. The flight control system, by managing g, sets a stable flight path on the average.
A phugoid oscillation is a relatively slow oscillation at ~constant AOA, where potential and kinetic energy trade back and forth, but that isn't the way the 'Bus flight control system works.
