If you end up with 80 degree nose up at 1200 ft in a 747 you are dead. No matter what you do.
Notadog:

"If you stall at 1200 ft in a 747 you are dead" is tough to argue against. Time and altitude for recovery probably not available. I don't see where "80 degrees nose up" comes from, in this event, based on what evidence is available.

Lantirn:
The reduced pitch attitude will allow airspeed to increase, thereby improving elevator and aileron control effectiveness. After the pitch attitude and airspeed return to a desired range the pilot can reduce angle of bank with normal lateral flight controls and return the airplane to normal flight.
The Boeing article excerpt is of interest, thanks. Of course, that last bit doubtless presumes "altitude/time sufficient to do all that."
