There is training, and then there is experience. In a perfect world the experience does the training and tries to pass it along.

Unfortunately for a long time Airbus didn't train from experience, but TO the lowest common demoninator.

FBW is great. But it doesn't make up for a lack of experience and training in the extreme.

On a Bus, or any other aircraft with a FPV (bird, velocity vector, etc), drop a perpendicular from the pitch bars to the FPV. That is your AOA. If you are less than stalling AOA, you are not stalled. \

Airbus doesn't teach or train this. They should. If they had, AF 447 would have had a lower probability to happen.

This isn't Boeing vs AB. Boeing doesn't teach this either. Fighter guys with HUDS know this as gospel.
