I think we all understand that the experience level may possibly have been a contributing factor. When the hard facts are released, we can make more enlightened reasoning.
In the meantime, the Boeing vs Airbus dogma being thrown about is about as relevant as the boorish racial comments.
With over a decade of JFO training on both aircraft types [ie more than 10 yrs on each] I can say both have their particular challenges. As an example, while the takeover decision is more aircraft trajectory driven on the Airbus, the actual takeover of control has always - in my experience - been much cleaner and defined. Simple as pushing a button.
As a footnote, the technique of 'assisting' another pilot on the controls without a positive takeover is potentially hazardous. Techniques such as this are shunned by all professional training organisations.
