DREAM ON

An MD82 stalled at high altitude over Venezuela and with stick shaker rattling all the way, the interconnected yoke was pulled fully back until the ground was hit.

A Q400 near Buffalo indicated an imminent stall by shaking the interconnected yoke and the startle reaction was a pull that did induce the stall, which led to a wing flip from which recovery was not anymore accomplished.

An MD83 stalled over Mali, flipped over its left wing and with stick shaker rattling all the way, the interconnected yoke was pulled fully back with full right aileron all the way until the Sahara was hit.

Yeah, surely, interconnecting side sticks and providing stick shakers or haptic buzzers on them is gonna save Airbusses from pilots stalling them.
