For the 'Bus drivers
This may be a silly question... but the captain returned to the flight deck and apparently from the BEA transcript did not receive any briefing from the PNF or PF on what had happened and what they had tried, just questions.
So - would it be immediately apparent that the aircraft was in Alternate Law or would the captain assume that it was still in Normal Law and had a plethora of unexplained 'errors'.?
It would explain his calls to the PF to 'pull up' despite obvious indications of a stall.
