I wonder if there is a software routine that could have detected the stall that the pilots were unable to? High AOA, sufficient thrust, yet altitude is decreasing steadily for a long period. (Have the computer do the instrument scan and suggest action.) I still think training and new procedures are required to get crew back to being active pilots. If I am on a passenger flight, I sure hope the folks up front have had a crusty instructor pilot throwing everything at them so that the right scans, observations, and responses are learned and quickly applied when things go awry.
