When the aircraft is descending, and you want it to return to the assigned FL, you have to climb. For that you have to raise the nose (SS NU) and maybe you have to add power (TOGA). If 5° pitch is not enough, lets use more........
.... and when the FD bars reappear; lets chase them!

A rather black comedy of errors, conceived through both a lack of understanding of aircraft dynamics at FL350+ and a poorly constructed and implemented training regime. Not to mention C..R..m.
