The pitch up thrust couple is probably the start of the problem for the crew, not sure which engine thrust the airline have on the 500 (some Russian outfit operate 500's with 22.5k which give F 16 like climb rates)

For most western operators its max two approaches and divert unless there is a significant improvement in weather conditions, this lot appeared not follow even basic procedures with regard to MDH/MSA

1 It won't be a terrorist event.

2 It won't be an aircraft failure

3 It will be crew induced loss of SA resulting in undesirable aircraft state.

Just read how lucky the crew (Thomson's Bournemouth & Jet2 at Chambrey ) were with very high pitch up and slow speed following a go around or for different reasons the Norwegian crew at Kittila with frozen/jammed Stab, with lots of thrust the aircraft will go well below 100 knt's with out stall even at near 40 degrees nose up, at least for a short while
