It has nothing to do with handflying skills. Aeroplane was commanded into stall and kept there because crew was totally unable to comprehend what happened. They couldn't recover? They never attempted recovery because they had no idea they needed to recover from self-inflicted stall.

I would not go as far to suggest that it is pathological. If former fighter pilots can succumb to it, I don't feel many of us are safe.

...and when it breaks it will leave you with control of single elevator while Airbus system of stick priority leaves you flying with both! Another clear example of classic controls superiority over Airbus FBW.

Probably later, but what difference would that make?

Pulling full aft stick/yoke is something crews always do?!? It must be very hard life in the cockpit if one has always be alert to the subtle difference of doing after start controls check and flying the approach.

Airbı provide tactile cues through seat of one's pants. See video posted by unworry.

Must be on PPRuNe.
