It should break right at the beginning for above FL100 and below FL100 so the decision is made early and then procedure can be followed logically and linearly. (And thank you thank you for that post rudderrat.)
Respectfully, the procedure recalled by
rudderrat is to apply
Nose-Down (reduce pitch attitude) at the same time as TOGA... while, in our case, the pilot apply
Nose-Up (increase pitch attitude) at the same time as TOGA... Then, this is quite hard to conclude that he was following this procedure!
This is what (below) he is talking about; you may also notice the relevant part about the aural stall warning sounding at "altitude":
"...
it warms that the aicraft is approaching the angle-of-attack for the onset of buffet. To recover, the pilot must relax the back pressure on the sidestick..."
