In AF447, if someone had said, "classic stall," (and perhaps this was stated at one point) would there have been a better chance that the pilot in command would have thought to lower the nose?
The word "stall" was stated about 70 times surrounded by chirps/crickets by the flight systems. Not once did any of the 3 pilots acknowlegde the stall verbally nor did they follow the stall recovery procedure. This is very hard to understand as it trumps all other warnings.
Training in the airline transport industry was focussed on avoiding the stall rather than recovering from it. This contrasts with light aircraft training where stall recovery is experienced and practiced.
