Priorities

Hi,

Machinbird:

The only reason a pilot with airline training would have a scan breakdown as bad as PF apparently had would be if confronted with an urgent problem that he did not understand. An out of control roll oscillation fits that description.

So, elected this priority (acting as being at imminent risk) fighting a "completely new" problem? And wasting precious seconds neglecting the deadly pitch threat.

Makes a lot of sense for me.
