Hi NoD,

if you have ever experienced a "false" WoW indication, in a modern electric jet it also is very confusing, and you now have no Stall Warning either.
On previous aircraft we had this logic:
The stall warning is inhibited on the ground AND with IAS less than 60 kts (to prevent false stall warnings during the take off roll).
If airspeed is > 60kts or aircraft in flight then stall warning was activated.

If AB used the same logic, maybe the Captain would have diagnosed the problem correctly rather than the "Wind Shear GA" (???) procedure the crew seem to have been performing.
