I assume that these were reproducing 447's performance using TOGA. A lower power ( Flight Idle ?) might have helped in the earlier stages.
How in the limited time (which WE now know was very limited) could PF have explained what he was having to do, to PNF. There was no further Drill to be actioned.
Of course he should not have stalled... But having got there, someone had to try to get out of it.
The Captain might have come to the Flight Deck without being called, due to the change of apparent gravity with the change of pitch of the aircraft - not I think, noticeable on a simulator.
( None of my Training or being checked was done on a simulator - we just had to use the real thing, with four fans and a Flight Engineer.)
