I understand what you are saying GG and I agree that engaging A/P is not the way to go about solving problems like this, I also agree that an attitude and thrust setting is where you want to end up in this situation, however, between sensing the stick shaker, recognising it’s meaning, reassessing the airspeed, maybe glancing at the flap indicator, sensing that there are other warnings occurring and deciding not to lower the nose as per the memory items because it may be a false stick shaker, time will pass, how much time? As I said, I think some posters are underestimating how much time would pass before they reduced thrust that close to the ground.
