I'm not arguing that the initial response to the aircraft's (minor) bank (which he rapidly controlled), and the suddenly-lower
indicated altitude. I am commenting on SOPs and CRM - I am observing what followed in terms of a crew response which was entirely non-standard, and upon this point we appear to agree. This is an observation, it is neither a judgement nor is it a statement of blame. Those kinds of statements are for others who are not doing flight safety work.
