This crash says the pilot not flying needs to be more aggresive in taking over when the other is AFU. A little forward pressure on the side stick would have solved the situation. Most Boeing pilots seeing a control wheel in their gut would do so instantly. Just say I have the airplane and problem is solved. Side sticks make that harder to do. You can not tell what the other pilot is doing from your seat. Airbus isn't going to change anything so I guess noticing the little annunciator is their only clue what the other pilot is doing. Guess this will be happening again.
