It was rather weak (just bit beyond neutral -- see that post: http://www.pprune.org/rumours-news/4...ml#post6610311) and short timed and it reduced nose-up attitude.

Well, some poster just few pages up said that recovery was not assured, and in fact very hard. He said that they tried that situation is sim and flight allmost allways ended in the ocean anyways. The word is that for typical line pilot recovery would be pretty impossible. As I understand even if the stall was recovered then there was overspeed shortly thereafter and that could not be recovered.
