fully developed stall

Camel
...sorting out problems of this magnitude,especially from the lhs. Probably never ever had to recover from a fully developed stall at high level in the sim
Sorry to confess, after being a professional pilot for 42 years and a captain for 21 years, I "never ever" have been trained to "recover [a heavy jet] from a fully developed stall at high level in the sim".
Congratulations if your airline routinely trains you to "recover from a fully developed stall at high level in the sim".
Please, feel free to explain every professional pilot here the easy way out of a "fully developed stall at high level" in a heavy jet (let alone a FBW one).
As far as I know, the only crew to survive a "fully developed stall at high level" has been the Air China one, decades ago, recovering a stalled 742 by extending the landing gear well above the placard speed (deep respect to these guys ...).
