Dozy
Don't want to belabor the point, but you don't have enough experience in a cockpit to really understand the fundamental way that proper flying methods were violated. You do a pretty good job, but sometimes you draw some strange conclusions----and I attribute that to lack of hands on experience.
Generations of pilots learned to fly smoothly by a proper use of the trim controls. The Airbus architecture minimizes the value of this skill and modern flight management systems instead place a lot of importance on typing skills and staying ahead of the computers. The job is changing, but occasionally the old skills are all that stand between success and abject failure.
