Maybe if I post it twice, you'll read it the second time.

We're talking about the information needed to fly the airplane, specifically to fly the airplane at that exact moment, not about the ability to fly the airplane.
I think 99% of the pilots posting on/reading this string agree that all Bonin and Robert had to do to live was fly pitch and power. So you got that going for you.
I also think that 99% of us want to understand why they didn't. We get it that you think they were incompetent, at least part of us would disagree. The accident pilots were all properly qualified and experienced. I for one, and trying to understand just how their qualification and experience failed them.
As to my abilities, I'll venture that you've got more time hand flying a 7n7 than I have total in an Airbus. I'll also venture that I've got 100% more time hand flying a flybywire narrowbody airbus than you. If it makes you feel any better, I'm sure you flew heading/alt/airspeed better than me. Now can we get back to chasing our tails to understand why 228 people died?
