Hi Check Airman,
I'd have thought that the stall warning would have taken priority over all other audio alerts.
The Stall warning does have priority over the other audio alerts. Unfortunately it has been designed to go mute if IAS<60 kts. (Despite still being airborne).
I sincerely hope that design feature is being addressed. (e.g. include Weight on Wheel logic)

vilas,
If you don't light a fire you don't have to extinguish.
I think that is AB logic too. Provided the aircraft remained in Normal Law, then even if the AP dropped out, the crew would have a familiar aircraft - no problem.

However ALT LAW feels completely different at high FLs with ailerons in roll direct. It took AF447 & QZ8501 PFs completely by surprise. (See bank excursions in report). The end result has been well discussed previously.
I suggest that crews need more sim practice in ALT LAW at high FLs.
