More automation is certainly not the solution, I prefer your suggestion for more training.

If both guys agree to pull the yokes or one guy is lost enough to let the other one to pull his yoke, there's not much we can do, but in both cases for AF and AIrAsia the PM had no idea what the PF was doing with his sidestick and knowing how that sidestick was commanded could have been a tremendous piece of information to help him to understand the situation.
Yokes or at least coupled sidekicks provide information that independent side sticks do not.

My question is why Airbus made an automatic operation on that THS to help the guys to set the airplane in a pronounced and comfortable stall ... ?
