"Another AF447"? Not even slightly.

In that case the aircraft pitched up as a result of the turbulence itself - the crew correctly tried to counter the pitch with nose down and control the airspeed (the indications remaining OK in this case). The temporary "loss of control" was due to external factors, unlike AF447 where the pilot flying stalled the aircraft and subsequently lost control.
