There is no excuse for "loosing control" after coming (or remaining) airborne with full flaps.
With respect there are plenty of excuses, one is inexperience, a fairly common understandable problem which always accompanies most PPL holders (hence the need for even more meticulous training & supervision). The other is lack of adequate training.

There can be no better example of both than in the Staines Trident disaster.

Quote from the accident report

If one could have asked the crew (3 pilots) at 127 seconds after TO why they were not flying a recovery they would have surely said, 'a recovery from what'?

Sadly 118 people had to die to prove the need for more experience and departure stall training
