That's a surprising conclusion, especially since the similarities between Asiana 214 and the A320 crash at Bangalore have already been mentioned several times on this thread. And on the Bangalore flight, alpha floor did indeed activate, about two seconds before the PF realized that "Hey, we are going down" (and finally took manual control of the thrust levers), but still too late for the engines to spool up in time.
It might be more interesting to discuss if the Airbus implementation of the low speed warning ("Speed Speed Speed" spoken by the CMV, as opposed to a quadruple chime and a text message on the EICAS) would have been a better help to this Asiana crew.
