Yes, I agree, keep a stable attitude and power, get out the UAS checklist, fine tune it a bit and fly out of the icing.
How, pray tell, were the crew of AF447 supposed to fly out of something they never even knew existed. As the CVR indicates they made a minor course correction because of concerns about turbulence, not icing. They never knew there was ice. They never knew that the ice had closed the tubes. They never knew that the clogged tubes caused the UAS. We know those things to be facts. They knew none of it.

The most dangerous thing about comments like your bubbers44 is that everyone starts flying in response to the last accident so that the next accident, once again, takes everyone by surprise. Being scared of one's shadow is the worst possible outcome.
