There wasn't an imminent stall. The plane was actually traveling about 25 kts above actual stall speed when the shaker went off, due to the INCR REF switch being turned on.
One thing puzzles me though. I read (and word searched) the entire CVR transcript and never noticed any talk of the switch or the boots being activated. Anyone venture a guess as to why?
