Stall recovery in airliners.

I'm currently just beginning my CPL training, but very close to the start of my flying, I was taught stall recovery. I understand that at higher speeds and altitudes, that high speed stalls can occur.

The AF447 documentary that I am watching says that a wing drop is something that to recover would require highly specialised training, which they inferred that the typical airline pilot would not recieve. Although they did say that that the pitot tubes were probably frozen over, which would make things a bit harder. Nonetheless, it seems, to me, in my initial flying training, that something like a stall recovery should be a fairly basic thing to be able to do.

My question is, are airline pilots taught advanced manual stall recovery techniques without a visual horizon?
