Personnaly I think Dozy is one of the smart guys in this group. I think he believes as I do that it doesn't matter what aircraft you fly, if the IAS goes away just fly attitude and power. That is what the autopilot was doing until it disconnected so why change anything. I don't care if Airbus says go to climb power and 5 degrees up in their situation, they didn't even do that, they pulled up to over 15 degrees for no reason and the PNF let him. Bad. Do we need the old timers to come back and teach them?
300 hr pilots flying on autopilot for a thousand hours are not real pilots. They cause crashes like this because they can not hand fly and trust automation to bail them out. When automation fails they are lost. AF proves it.
