No, it (AP) struggled to stay on the GS until stick shaker & stall. Max thrust then apllied to no avail at the low altitude. This is from the press conference just now.
That doesn't make any sense to me. On a dual channel the plane will go into flare at 50' and retard at 28' so why not here?

Not that it would have mattered really. Though the stall would have occured at higher altitude with more chance of recovery.
