If it is, or was trained it would be what is called an "admission against interest..." For AB or the line to explain how to reach an AoA value without supplied kit, it is an admission that the value is important for flight, and the Gauge is not optioned, possibly creating unsafe flight....

Likely if the practice is known, it is an informal "workaround", shared informally amongst A330 crew who are rostered on one of the cheaper models.

A football player or coach who does not review film and stats after the game, on ANY day, is not a winning player or coach. imo.
