As the A330 on that particular evening did not have a display for AoA as it does for airspeed, vertical speed, attitude, etcetera, the more cogent question (raised during 10 of the 12 447 threads here on PPRuNe) appears to be why the more basic "pitch and power" were not the foremost concerns, in terms of being directly addressed. That question is not answerable other than by inference and guesswork, since neither of the two gents in the flying seats is alive to share with us their thoughts.
(I recall from one of the thousands of posts, memory sketchy, that on one of the pages a non-flying pilot can sort through(page 6 or 7) one will eventually get a value for AoA. I think you can appreciate why neither of the pilots went paging through that system -- their attention was on trying to fly the aircraft).
