I'll take a guess that most of the 36 other crews were flying the 330 as their second/third/fourth etc, transport category swept wing jet. Maybe their Bus training was inadequate, may not. But they likely had previous experience to fall back on either way. If I read the BEA report correctly, the two guys at the controls for AF447 were essentially Airbus only.
Exactly, the other 36 crews would not have pulled up to 15 degrees for no reason. They knew how to fly an airplane with no airspeed. These two didn't.
