Manada,

If you have 3000 ft in the MCP window and fly a WS escape the flight directors will capture that altitude. The system will not disregard the altitude.
For crying out loud...if you are a pilot,maybe its time you review your basic maneuvers

That is how we train it in the simulator. We also normally set the MCP altitude up (just spin the wheel) to avoid altitude capture and confusing FD commands.
Sad really,and you work for an airline?
