You post: "The PNF's sidestick reached the aft stop at 02:11:41, that is 43 seconds after the airplane stalled. The AoA was then increasing through 35 degrees. The captain returned at 02:11:42.5. The AoA exceeded 41.5 degrees, became NCD and the stall warning stopped at 02:11:45.

If, at that point, the 2 other guys had known "that important piece of information", what would have been their reaction to it?"...Unquote

"that important piece of information"

You are referring to AoA? Or stick placement? They could not have known AoA; and PNF was engaging in full aft stick post STALL, so he was in the weeds with Bonin?

If the PNF held full aft stick post STALL, as you say, then "the two other guys" are in fact just one other guy, the Captain. The Captain has a particularly poor view of the SS. We know the Captain cannot see PF SS, from the CVR. Or if he can see it, he cannot suss its position......"But I have been climbing...."

If what you say is fact, then each of the three have attempted a climb to recover from STALL, the two pilots by stick, and the Captain by command to Bonin: "Climb, then..." "The PNF's sidestick reached the aft stop at 02:11:41, that is 43 seconds after the airplane stalled. The AoA was then increasing through 35 degrees. The captain returned at 02:11:42.5.

And they supposedly had instruments?
