Often brought up for discussion I know. BUT... Doesn't a pitch angle of 10 degrees plus nose-up ring alarm bells at FL350. Strewth - if I saw that and the other guy is 'flying' I think I'd deck him at the same time as pressing the takeover button
You'd think so wouldn't you WK? but evidently the continual erosion in manual flying skills (thanks in part to the TLS boffins) has moved many to think it can't happen to them...particularly the playstation generation who have known nothing other than FBW.
As for the non feedback loop on the bus, absolutely criminal IMHO, it as a design philosophy ignores so many of the man/machine interface criteria we now take for granted.
I hated it when I flew it, and I still do.
