From what I've read here and elsewhere it seems that if a transport pilot who is trying to climb finds that he is ascending at a high rate (say 9,000 fpm), with airspeed dropping, the reaction from the pilot (or Hal inthe case of Airbus) is to pull out all the stops and push the yoke or the sidestick forward as far as it will go and even adjust stabilizer trim to get more nose down pitch - right?
Boy it's nauseating reading all the amateur speculation on this thread. What is written above is akin to saying " From what I've read it seems that if a builder who is trying to build a house finds that the walls are falling down, his reaction is to whip out his mobile phone and order the concrete truck to return and then put more concrete in the foundations while using stainless steel brackets to reinforce the internal walls".
Seriously, that's how stupid it sounds to an airline pilot.
