Desitter, it's not a "sudden power" increase, it's quite smooth and the pitch trims changes are not "tricky" to a competent pilot.
Ref 737-200 which I also flew - pilots were used to doing a lot more manual flying then. These GA incidents are further evidence of pilots diminution in handling skills due increased use of automation.
To a competent and well practised pilot the GA should be a routine manoeuvre.
