Too many people start with the conclusion that the stall condition has been identified, thus the focus on recovery.
The initial replies clearly identify the problem, awareness; however it is also necessary to consider many preceding factors which can influence a pilots mind set, and even with awareness bias the choice of action.

Many analyses work backwards from effect to cause, hindsight bias. However, considering accidents from an alternative perspective that ‘both the contribution of latent system states, and the complexity of conditions that could end in an incorrectly performed human action - even leading to the extreme notion of "error forcing" conditions’ and where ‘the "sharp" end, which often are the initiating events, and actions at the "blunt" end, which create the conditions that either make an action failure near inevitable or turn minor mishaps into major disasters’. (Accident Analysis and "Human Error"), it is probable that a large range of factors contributed to the accident e.g. education, training, experience, dynamic awareness – thinking ahead, avoiding hazardous situations.
