That's a CRM problem. The other pilots recognised the approach to the stall.
It's been a while since I read about Palm 90, but I'm pretty sure that F/O Pettit knew they were stalling from reading the ASI, and that the Birgenair F/Os were using a combination of the ASI (which was working on the F/O's side) and ADI (the other F/O in the jumpseat calls "ADI!" out several times during the sequence). Neither made any reference to yoke position.

I know they were aware they were close to the stall. The point I was making was that even with the yoke telling them that their respective PFs were pulling into the stall, they either did not see it, or saw it and didn't do anything about it.
