I've got to say Garrison, I feel that's likely true.... especially if less than TOGA thrust was also selected.
It is a very remote possibility I suppose, that the PF was under 'some impression', at a base response level, that recovery from a stalled condition does not require a consistent and nose-down pitch .
If so, it's highly unlikely that Captain M. Dubois would have followed that course of action, and must have realised having made his way to the cabin, pretty well what sort of situation they were in, irrespective of instrumentation
