I think by now we know the FO flying totally screwed up. Pulling the nose up in a stall is opposite of any other stall recovery procedure. You always lower the nose and add power. We learned that in the Cessna 150. It works for all Boeings also. Airbus came up with this concept that you could just pull back the control and the computer wouldn't let you stall. Well, what if the computer fails? It obviously failed this time and over 200 people died for no reason. When will Airbus give up on the automatic airplane and pilots can be stupid and still fly it approach. Maybe they need to hire qualified pilots and let the 250 hr wonders pay their dues and do something doing actually flying for a while before they get in the right seat.
