Mr. Optimistic;
Re, "Also, a lot of dual input tussles: almost a continuous 'fight'. "
Yes, as we know from the threads, dual inputs are absolutely verboten in the Airbus. You either take control or leave it alone. If someone is doing something leading to an accident, one takes the airplane, and sorts it out on the ground later. The trouble is, the PF continuously interferred with what the PNF sensed and wanted to do and they failed to sort it out. Courtesy, arguing and timidness won out over training, SOPs, CRM and ultimately, survival in this accident.
