I think you guys are trying to make too much out of this.
Round and round and round again, in technical circles.
Having followed various discussions on and off from the beginning I have to agree.
What are the most important things that pilots need to do/understand to avoid similar accidents? Here are a few I can think of, in no particular order:
- Have a working knowledge of performance attitudes in all phases of flight.
- Pulling back on the controls for an extended period of time is rarely the solution to a problem.
- Crew communication/interaction is
vital during an emergency in a multi-pilot aircraft.
- Know how your airframe behaves when you lose part/all of the protections/automation.
Competence in just one of those areas might have prevented the accident under discussion...
