CEO Mr. Fernandes - tell us about their simualtor training?

Simulator training? What a joke. My first high altitude stall scenario came after AF fell into the ocean. That was also the last time I have done high altitude stalls. As I remember it, it took a decisive push on the stick to get the nose down and then it took forever for the speed to build enough to start to pitch to level flight. As for loss of air data, what makes a pilot think he has to do anything to correct for it? What was the airplane doing just prior to the event? Level flight, constant power setting? Leave it alone. If the auto thrust tries to react to erroneous speed information, turn off auto thrust. The system is already compromised, so turning off auto thrust is not going to harm anything. Pitch and power, baby.
