I believe a genu wine Airbus pilot and a close read of the manual would explain that absent pulling multiple breakers ( not resets ) full (NO protection) control is NOT available.
Precisely. And the Captain had to get up to pull the CBs because (a) they are behind the other guy's seat so it would take the other guy longer (b) with all the alarms going it would be hard to explain to the other guy what to pull. This was clearly not fun and games. This was urgently needing full control without computer veto, to get out of a stall caused by a false overspeed reading from a huge updraft.
