Excuse me, DozeWanabee, my post was effectively too short
1. In formal terms : if the crew had having some incapacity (big smoke, irritant vapors, hyjacking, seat problem, etc?) recovering quickly from stall when 50° AoA, needed the Machinbird "unloading the wing" method, not just push. I wanted to remember it is not just piloting 101. It needs to be able to fly as French pilots learned their job
with aerobatics before the "nouvelle méthode" (
1979)
2. In historic terms about DGAC and AIRBUS choices : just to remember for these one who know this story, it would be too long here.
But I agree with
Loss of airspeed => correct Pitch and Power,
Stall => PUSH
But the AF447 had possible difficulty of assessing the situation...
I remember the first cited sentence of Gilbert Klopfstein :

So
HUD is (was!) "the" solution !
