Yes, seeing a Boeing with the control wheel full back would alert any pilot at high altitude that we can't fly this way is not available on an invisible Airbus side stick. The only real pilot, the captain, came up too late to save it because he didn't see a wheel in the FO's chest because it was hidden. The PF had it full back for several minutes because he wasn't a real hands on pilot. He expected the automation to take care of him and it didn't.
