Yes, cigarman, I'll be happy to clarify some words/phrases you used: "jerked" and "full throw, stop to stop".
NEVER, (and I'll repeat it again for emphasis), Never does our advanced handling training at AA include "jerk"-y or "full throw, stop to stop" control inputs.
The purpose of the advanced handling training is to show that CORRECT use of flight controls, during different regimes of flight, can provide a much better recovery of an aircraft from an unusual attitude. Since the effects of rudder and aileron vary greatly, depending on airspeed and AOA, the training strictly emphazises the absolute necessity for controlled inputs to the flight controls.
