Guys,
Before they even got into the problems and confusion of the stall warner going off then on (below 60KTS) they ignored the stall warner sounding continously for 50 secs.

At no point was there any attempt to corectly deal with the problems eg PF " I Have Control - Action the ECAM items" no formal attempt to analyse what was going on - just an almost blind panic.

As has been discussed many many times on the tech threads when they reduced the power to flight idle the pitch decreased and the speed increased even with full aft THS. If Pitch down had been commanded the THS would have trimmed forward and together with the power reduction would eventually have resulted in a recovery.
The problem lies with inapropriate drills, a complete failure to follow the correct cockpit procedures and no command and control.
Reason - failures in the training they recieved and procedures they were trained to follow which is also a theme for the colgan crash.
