Enlighten me, de facto.
In the simulator we do the worse case CB WS. You will crash if you don't use throttle to the walls and aggressively follow the FD (or momentary stick shaker if FD is not available).
I am not saying I will follow the FD commands in a level off, but the system will capture the altitude.
Are you saying this is not correct?
I have had reactive WS three time in real life. Non of them required max thrust.
