This is very interesting thread which keeps running but the question is did the pilots know that the aeroplane had stalled? If so how do you recover without looking at the PFD? conventional dual yoke has an advantage for the other pilot being able to follow on controls but that is not the cause of this accident. Lack of recent training for the failure leading to inappropriate control response and virtually zero scan by all including the captain on his return to cockpit is the cause. Even a blind folded pilot on hearing stall warning would push the stick forward here he keeps pulling back. It is more of shock and awe rather than any planned action. All things being equal this crew may have done the same thing even in B777. There is an incident in Airbus where pilot started both engines with fuel pumps off, ECAM warning was twice cancelled without noting the failure, take off and climb to FL 380 was made with pumps off. Dual engine flame out and successful restart and landing was done without noticing the pumps. So propensity to ignore indications direct or indirect is unlimited.
