No, not at high altitude, there wasn't. Stall training, as I read it, was only for low-altitude problems such as wind-shear. This was one of the shockers to come out of the reports, so far. Somebody please set me straight if I have misunderstood.
I'm afraid you misunderstood.
Ref to interim report #2, where the AF procedure "stall warning" (at the time of the accident) is reproduced.
Abstract:
During any other flight phases after lift-off:
- TOGA
- Reduce pitch attitude
- Wings level
- Retract speed brakes.


Is that really "to gun it and pull up"?

I agree with you on the "no-training" part (high altitude), but Clandestino wrote "There was procedure", not "There was training".
