In the case of AF447 it would have certainly helped to have the same design as that of the A320 trim .. in the case of an attempt to break out of the stall ( trim going from 3° up to a down position will be faster than going from 13° )
Nevertheless ... even without trim (neutral) .. just give ( continually ) up orders (like the AF447 pilot had done) with the elevators (supposed they have enough authority) will finally end up in a stall situation
