Was a successful recovery possible with the a/c “en ligne de vol” at 35000 ft after the climb and descent back to cruise level, within structural load limits, given an 'optimal' response ? If it was, can anyone say at this stage how much time margin they had for delay? Presume some 40 odd degrees of nose down pitch would be necessary at some stage to unstall the wings. Hell of a scarey thing to do when you are already descending at those rates.
