PJ2 says that neutral stick is easy to place, in the mind, by feel.... I believe.

So.... 1) The PF does not know where neutral is, or, 2) he does not know the NOSE position, or, 3) he thinks that minor corrections are needed with the stick back of neutral, similarly, when it is forward of neutral.

Would a Bus driver take the time to interpret for us the stick placements that killed them? Is it reasonable to comment on a partner's use of the Stick, or is it too 'personal'?

Another question that I think has not been addressed: Why is the pilot so stick busy? The aircraft is very large, very gentle in responses, and he looks like he flies a helicopter in a windstorm.....
