It certainly was discussed by me and by others.

Granted they had screwed up massively and persistently. Granted they had entered a part of the (non) flight envelope no-one could reasonably have expected a pair of ATPLs to ever explore. I grant you all that and more. But still...

- Push forward and you get a stall warning
- Pull back and the stall warning stops

No flight control and instrument system should ever present that behaviour to a pilot.
