Yep, beats the hell outta me. Hold what ya got and analyze the situation.

maybe the "boldface" or whatever the commercial folks call it was not a good idea - like pull to 5 degrees of pitch and so forth.

For others, re: elevator versus stick inputs

Good grief, we've been thru this. The position of the control surfaces on a FBW jet do not reflect the pilot inputs via sidestick, wheel or whatever. They move to achieve the commanded gee, AoA or roll rate. The rudder will move to help roll coordination, with no input from the pilot.

In the 'bus, the THS will gradually move one direction or the other to reduce the amount of control input to achieve the "commanded" gee.

Waiting for the final and the immense amount of comments from we in the peanut gallery shortly thereafter.
