Partial flap as required, no automatics due erroneous Stick Shaker, and manually fly a return circuit to land.
Of course, in an armchair flight, no problem doing what has been discussed here for weeks. It is all too easy to pick just one part of the event and in the light of hindsight, choose the relevant C/L, which we now know would solve the problem.
Now, in the real airplane at takeoff, why would a crew reduce thrust while battling with a persistent stickshaker (it makes noise, no whistling sound) and lots of most distracting alarms, instead of climbing away to sort things out ?
Even just in a sim, warned and briefed crews had their hands full doing the correct thing, which implied resorting to the roller-coaster maneuver.
And just got away by a small margin that the real crew in the real event didn't have.

And BTW, it appears that no flight sim to date reflects the real airplane...
So...I must admit that I'd not be so affirmative...
