You say... "The unilateral actions by the PF, within a second of the start of the UAS event do not conform to standard responses to abnormalities, nor did the actions of the PM as the problem rapidly degraded."
Not exactly, and that is the first time I have seen a statement of that sort relative to the differences in Flight Law relating to manual flight. You go on to urge the commingling of a/c types other than Airbus A330 when addressing standards of high altitude assumption of manual flight.
I cannot agree. PF took control, and announced it, his inputs were consistent with handling required, and no one will ever know if he sussed ALTLAW2b. Since the outcome of this event resulted in the deaths of 228 souls, I think it is critical that the initial induction of LOC is understood specific to this type.
