If you ever get to the point of stalling an airliner, then the emphasis has to be on unloading the wing so you’re flying again and under some sort of control. Everything else goes out of the window. Get as close to the ground as you like during the recovery as long as you don’t hit it: if you have speed (== life) you can pull out - if you’re still at the far end of the drag curve you might not be able to.

I take the view that if you manage to unwittingly aerodynamically stall a jet transport aircraft, especially at low level, then you’re probably going to screw up the recovery as well...
