Continental TurboProp crash inbound for Buffalo

[FlyingTinCans]

whoever pulled back on the controls either had lightning quick reflexes

There is no evidance someone pulled back on the controls, the FDR cannot distinguish between a human hand pulling the stick back, or the aerodynamic forces themselves moving the control column.

The more logical reason for the "lightening quick" pull back is because as the stick shaker activates the autopilot is automatically disconnected.
And as said by me and others, the autopilot would have trimmed right back, almost full aft to maintain the altitude while the speed was decaying, the autopilot then disconnects and the control column moves full back due to the trim forces and the aircraft pitched up.

It is unfortunate that commuters with their low pay and benefits need to accept underqualified people to fill these positions

Its a unfortunate that people like you with the attitudes, views and complete lack of understanding get a flying job in the first place!
