Huh? I thought it was pretty normal to disconnect an autopilot and or trim system if it's malfunctioning. Furthermore, isn't it pretty well accepted that if the airplane pitches up uncommanded we take control and re-command it back to what we'd like it to do? I guess I just don't see this as a superb Bob Hoover like display of airmanship. I suppose in our current state of ever declining standards we could say attaboy for not pulling further back on the yoke.
