When you start to look at unusual accidents like the French 330, it is just as likely that the automation led to the accident, as any inadequacy in the crew's response.
I would venture to guess the crews reliance of the automation and wishes that the said automation would save the day rather than their inadequacies as pilots to recover from a stall lead to the death of innocent passengers.

Yes, my thoughts are very harsh, but it's the system that permits less than adequate pilots into the cockpit of large jet airliners at the mercy of the innocent public.
