the Captain woke the second co-pilot
Suggesting he was asleep, and could have been for a couple of hours - but within 5 minutes he was in front of the controls as PNF.
He was briefing his replacement 10 minutes prior to the PNF trying to call him to the cockpit.
The relief pilot was asleep for a couple of hours not the PIC. The point being that the relief pilot (PNF)) may have been slow to recognize the stall.
BTW: The relief pilot was denied two critical, valid (most of the time anyway) bits of informatation.
A: The AOA sensor output.
B: The control inputs by the PF
Both of these 'could' probably be displayed given a moderate SW update.
The AOA as a simple # and the control inputs as a vector with length corresponding to deflection.
