There must be dozens of differences between this incident and AF447, but there are two similarities, both planes were flying little more than stall speed and both planes simply fell out of the sky. Can the professional pilots who fly these types comment on the possiblity of unintended spoiler deployment, please? I read that the spoilers deploy when the spoiler lever is armed and the throttles are both reduced to idle.
