In the early seconds of each partial recovery, wasn't the crew presented with a "re-invigorated" STALLWARN?

Having sussed all the napkin calcs presented here, would the PF go immediately to ND? Or would he secure TOGA thrust, and "maintain altitude" with aft stick?

The DFDR tells us little of theoretical benefit to our crew from possibilities that were never entertained at any level of practicality.
If you have read my previous posts you will be aware that I avoid any comment on what pilots might or might not have done - I leave that to more qualified observers.

The DFDR is not intended for the use you imply, but you cannot say that 10 deg ND is a theoretical possibility outside the levl of practicality since they actually went there just after 02:12:45
