jesus guys, how many more alerts do you think we need!

Its fairly easy - fly the goddam plane! Hands should be on the levers (mine always are below about FL100, and at every level off) and speed is something (i hope) we always monitor.
BTW that doesn't mean that I subscribe to the opinion that these guys weren't flying the plane, I suspect that the final report will reveal a little more, but I have to admit it doesn't look good at the moment.

For those that don't know already (quite a few judging by some comments), the Shaker is not the stall, its the stall warning and occurs at about 1.05vs (obviously in highly dynamic situations this may change - but getting slow on an ils ain't exactly 'dynamic'!) and should give plenty of 'headroom' for recovery. What do you want - another warning at 1.1Vs - maybe one at 1.2 vs aswell!
