Instead of shock tactics, how about Airbus remove the handle that startled pilots grab on to: the sidestick!

If a Boeing pilot gets a shock and yanks back on the prong, at least his oppo will shock him with a "WTF are you doing?!" as he gets hit in the guts, instead of "hmm, why is this aircraft suddenly climbing?? Hey Capn Bloggs, are you pulling on the sidestick or is the aircraft doing it by itself??".
