Why on earth did he start pulling again at that point?
At that time, he is not pulling that much, he's pushing as well, not as much, but still.
One minute later at time 2.11.40 there is no ambiguity anymore, it is all for nose up now. It seems to match with the time the airplane is passing through the initial 350 Flight Level as most probably still indicated in the altitude window of the FCU. Is the PF simply following the FD commands ... ?
