AOA indications available to the pilots would be very useful in some situations like wrong weights or in this case pilots not increasing power on the glide slope and getting slow not being aware of it until stick shaker. Forgetting speed brakes out at night in a tight descending turn in a 727 is the only time in over 20,000 hrs I could have used it. Paying attention to flying the airplane at all times would make it not required.

We are entering an automated flight era that probably requires it along with idiot lights to bring attention to it like cars with oil pressure low lights in the 70's.
