In the Boeings you have to work at it to keep it stalled, but we were doing a falling leaf, descending at 11000 ft/min, 10 degrees nose up at firewall thrust.

Would the recovery have been easier without thrust ?, it depends on geometry but those underwing engines are likely to generate a nose up tendency.
