@DozyWannabe,
and furthermore the pilot in the Orly incident pulled up in response to the SW. The XL888 accident grew from improper cleaning/maintenance procedures causing failure of the AoA vanes.
Are you kidding me? Watch again the video. It includes the actual CVR. The Stall Warning came on at 1:06, during recovery phase!!! No stall warning during vertical climb or at peak point.
Funny thing, the aerobatic maneuver starts at 0:10 with captain's question :
Hé ! qu'est-ce qu'il fait !?
see CVR transcript, page 53 of report below, the stall warning at 10h:44m:44s

About XL888, of course, if isn't the pilot then must be the mechanic...
