So - a hypothetical question - Bearing in mind the idiosyncrasies of swept wing aircraft in stalls... if such a jet is in a fully developed stall, applying power and then using the AH/EFIS to obtain a wings level, nose level attitude would arrest the stall?
Not without a big afterburner.

Too much induced drag. Reduce AOA first, accelerate, and fly happily ever after.

Try to power out of it and everyone will be shaking their head at your airmanship as they attend the funeral.
