Just re-read the BEA report looking to see if the word 'stall' was reported at any time as having been used. If the pilots had recognised a stall, surely even a very summary report would state that at x time the pilot recognised the stall. Anyway,

First off, would the normal response to: :
At 2 h 06 min 04, the PF called the cabin crew, telling them that "in two minutes we should enter an area where it’ll move about a bit more than at the moment, you should watch out" and he added "I’ll call you back as soon as we’re out of it".

be to secure the cabin ?

Second:
At 2 h 12 min 02, the PF said "I don’t have any more indications", and the PNF said "we have no valid indications". At that moment, the thrust levers were in the IDLE detent and theengines’ N1’s were at 55%. Around fifteen seconds later, the PF made pitch-down inputs. In the following moments, the angle of attack decreased, the speeds became valid again and the stall warning sounded again.
At 2 h 13 min 32, the PF said "we’re going to arrive at level one hundred". About fifteen seconds later, simultaneous inputs by both pilots on the sidesticks were recorded and the PF said "go ahead you have the controls".


Is this all the information released ? That statement leaves a period of one and a half minutes empty of data, that is a big fraction of the whole incident time. And these simultaeneous inputs, no information on what they were, eg NU ?

I thought I saw other information but can't find it so apologies if I am behind the curve.
