I disagree, here.
Had they followed the same drill as in their sim check (Rio depature) they would have :
- indeed seeked for 15° pitch attitude
- but
also set TOGA at the same time.
TOGA was selected around 02:10:50, i.e.
40" after the NU first input, and at a time where the PF was lowering the nose, and just after the stall warning begun.
