Where are you getting this info from? Unless you have a triple ADR failure, Stall Warning is calculated differently depending on the current Mach value. Are you thinking of the FL250 limit with the BUSS due to fixed SW value (not relevant to AF447)?

Not a technical point, this being Tech Log, other than the matter of technical training associated with operating complex machines.
Hullo sir - as far as the latter point goes, I think it's fairly wide-ranging. I agree totally with your first point, however I also find that incidents like WCA708 and Birgen301 provide a useful counterpoint to those who reflexively claimed that AF447 would not have happened on a Boeing/MD with linked yokes. To be frank, I'd rather such commentary didn't come up - as it is a distraction from the matter at hand - but alas it has done fairly frequently.
