Dozy
All three of the above bullets were screaming for the Captain to check attitude, and screw the rest.
Have you an inkling for the environmental cues available to Captain DuBois?
He had just climbed a deck that was quite steep, heard the Stallwarn, and came to find a baffled aircrew. You think he assumed the imstruments had been ignored prior to his entry?
the pilots reported they were clueless, would you not first check attitude?
The nose then dropped through twentyfive degrees, you would fix on AS?
Give these crew just a little assumed credibility....
