I did not read the previous hundreds of post, but it seems the crew had an entirely different perception of what was happening during the last minutes.
It seems if they had a better awareness they could "easily" have regained control, right? (pushing the stick)
I'm admit to be lazy here , but isn't there any speed measurement backup procedure if e.g. the pitots block/freeze? (e.g. GPS, Iphone ? ) It seems they had little time but some minutes..
The 330 in better days..
