Clandestino - (TC/AC incident). It is still my opinion that your condemnation of a 'massive overreaction' is unwarranted. I agree subsequent actions were tardy, but faced with a significant overspeed in turbulence and a TCAS 'Descend' RA I think closing the T/Ls and disconnecting the A/T were spot on. Then with no indication whatsoever of the invocation of some bizarre AoA law that is going to cause the a/c to rear up on its tail and climb steeply, I am not really surprised that there were some 'what the ** is it doing now?' moments. I assume from your post that you would have been straight 'on the case' and sorted it out immediately. Bravo.

May the good Lord protect all of the average pilots from such software anomalies.
