Maybe I overestimate their problem solving ability.
10-15 minutes wrestling with an airplane trying to bunt at low altitude, with alarms blaring and stickshaker activer seems quite a long time indeed.
Are you sure you do not underestimate the problem ? Did you really have a clear understanding of the situation before reading hundreds of posts on PPRuNe ?
It would help if you could support the idea with pointing us to any pilots having been successful with such a complex situation - even in the sim.
Some proven US pilots seem to think otherwise, like pilot union representatives, pilots having successfully ditched a liner, etc.
