DOZY
I am in agreement with you and I also do not believe there pilots out there who do not know that Airbus can be stalled in alternate law. Pilots are getting complacent on automation and loosing their basic scan. Far too many accidents happen because of not monitoring speed on approach. Take SFO for instance no pilot is going to keep quiet when he sees the speed is 15/20 KTS below Vapp. They simply are not looking at the speed because most of the time automation looks after it. AF447 pilot applied memory items of after take off situation otherwise there is no requirement of TOGA power. Unreliable airspeed is only practiced during type rating and never in yearly or six monthly checks.
