Following the "book procedure" for stall recovery would have lead us right into the ground.
I think we deserve some more information about that event as it would obviously have major safety implications. I have only stalled the sim but found the stalling characteristics conventional apart from the larger than usual thrust pitch couple when TOGA thrust is applied. Presumably you reported it so I would like to know what Boeing had to say. Also, what on earth were you doing to get into a deep stall in those weather conditions?
