wozzo, I went back to the 17 Dec, 2009 Interim Report and found a description of the stall procedure. At altitude it's TOGA for thrust and slight nose down. So he did it half right. There is a valid question what he had in mind for his continue pull on the stick. And I suppose there is question whether he wanted TOGA for stall or for getting above it all. (If the latter, why did he almost level off after only 500' altitude gain?)
