Just to add the E-jet.

In both Normal and Direct mode we have a stick shaker at 1.05Vs-1g.
In normal mode when it's firing you can pull back to the stop but the fly by wire will limit the aircraft to Cl max. This is called AOA limiting so like the bus you cannot stall the wing. However, there is no automatic thrust increase at this point so unless you help out you can "stall" the aeroplane. i.e not enough V^2 for lift to equal weight.

In direct mode its just like a cable system and you can screw up as much as you like.


also no anti ice on the empennage.
