@aguadalte - Tactile feedback will come into it, yes - but it's worth remembering that the same thing happened to the Birgenair 757 which had interconnected yokes, and the psychological impact and tragic result was much the same.

@Graybeard - As I said, I suspect that Airbus will be revisiting their logic over this one. However at the same time I think Ranger one was right when he said:

Until this accident.
Remember that the stall warning was sounding for 57 seconds before the values went out of usable range and it shut off. How in the hell did that happen?
