Thx PBL for clarification as below:
...the flight crew is confident, thanks to the airworthiness certification of the airplane, that the airplane can recover itself (= "correct the situation") by virtue of its stability characteristics, before an excursion outside the flight envelope (e.g., upset) occurs.
By "airplane" I take it you mean the airplane including its automated control systems which provide augmented stability.
This seems to imply that the pilots should not intervene, but simply leave recovery to the airplane.
