Given the pilot's actions. a Sopwith Camel in this event would have have had the same outcome, except the Sopwith wouldn't have been screaming "stall" in his ear.
Absolutely agree.
This accident looks more and more like a flying skills issue, rather than design or software issue. And by implication an Air France training problem.
It falls under the heading.. "Flight with unreliable airspeed."
In general terms if you suspect that you have "unreliable airspeed" as a pilot, you stick to "datums." Put the power at a sensible figure, and set the attitude at a sensible attitude for that phase of flight. That will keep you safe. Having settled that down, diagnose the problem.
Plane, Path, People. .... or similar.
What you do not do is plant the sidestick in the back stop and expect a good outcome.
