I think it’s been shown this aircraft had slats so it’s a moot point if they save lives. Apparently not in this case.
Agree it's really moot
Cloudee. Stall/spin accidents feature regularly in accident reports, and that's with modern aircraft fitted with stall warning systems. The US had 2,015 stall accidents between 2000 and 2014, and stalls account for nearly 25% of fatal accidents.
Unfortunately too, spin training is no longer part of the curriculum, few aircraft are cleared for spinning.
