The BBC program commented that with lack of airspeed information a setting of throttle to (75%) thrust and the elevator to (15) degrees would maintain safe speed.
(Forgive me if I have the figures wrong, someone give correct figures for airbus)
They claim that the crew should have set these parameters fairly quickly.

These settings are obviously right to MAINTAIN straight and level flight but would the same settings get an aircraft BACK to level flight from a near stalled or just after stalled position i.e. nose down and possibly accelerating?
