Shakers are installed if natural pre-stall buffet is too weak to be recognized (or non-existent). I hope final report addresses whether the Airbus got through certification too easily or FBW Airbi indeed have sufficient natural buffet to warrant omitting the stickshaker. I agree that with sidestick, effective shaker needn't be much larger than those used on modern cellphones.

All transient and not going off simultaneously with stall warning. IIRC even if they were trigered simultaneously with stall, stall warning overrides all other audio alerts.

Same way that you recover from mid or low alt stall. Hint: therr's difference between approach to stall and stall itself, which is seldom appreciated on PPRuNe.

If this theory is congfirmed by HF group, that would show complete incap on the PF side. Unstalling by pull? Only when flying inverted or you're doing some very serious aerobatics.

Because it was assumed that pilots understood stall & recovery from day one and never forgot it. Whooops.....

Little less respectfully, I offer alternative explanation: as usual, fatal accident wakes many up to the reality of aviation being a very hazardous game. Length of the thread is due to inability to lay our fears to sleep with usual lithany of "It was only loco/Africa/Russia/Asia/Latin America/cargo anyway"
