Silverstrata,
To my knowledge, no commercial aircraft is ever directly "commanding" an attitude with either a stick or control column.
Conventional aircraft command a pitch change (or attitude) by deflection of the elevator.
Airbus FBW aircraft side stick orders command a g load which, through various flight computers, move the elevator accordingly to give the demanded g load, until the stick is released back to its neutral position, then 1g (corrected for pitch) will be maintained again, until a new input is made on the side stick.
This is valid in pitch both in normal law and alternate law. Roll is another story.
Only direct law will provide a direct relationship between elevator and sidestick longitudinal movements, though not in a strickly linear fashion.
For the rest of these wonders of aviation technologies and why it was designed this way, I recommend that you spend some time in the Tech Log and get a good grip with the concept of Airbus FBW before suggesting this is nonsense, or why would anyone design such a thing.
