Regardless the AB has so much automated computer programming geeks crap tied into it that it is no wonder it occasionally tries to Fk with you, and you have to reestablish who the F the boss is. I have talked to a number of pilots that have had to shove it to TOGA to take control of that JetLike substitute Frog product.
But hey, it is an awesome cubicle in the sky, even if it constantly resists being a plane.
The Airbus did exactly what it was supposed to do. If the pilots didn't know that, then it's a training issue. You can't really blame the plane when it did exactly what it is supposed to do in that situation. Aborting it once airborne is crazy. TOGA and 10 deg pitch. Once it looks like it's climbing, TOGA and 15 degrees. Just like the unreliable airspeed procedure, if you will.
