"...It's not time in type that matters, but time in stall..."

Without question, and without disagreement. Likely no A330 crew will realize, or come to rely upon, the bizarre disguised Stall Entry of 447.

Gliders? Pitts? Extra? That time similarly makes for counterintuitive response to 330 Stall Entry....no change in Pitch, buffet easily confused with turbulence, and partial loss of roll control.... Full Nose Up trim without command (in manual), etc.

Perhaps better to enlist PPLs to fly this family? At least the Stall would be no less baffling to them. Perhaps retire them out of type after 2000 hours?

I thank you for your feedback, for I believe too much is left unsaid, the conclusion too pedestrian.

This was a challenge for any crew, that the holes lined up so well is their fate. Even a maladjusted seat and deployed armrest deserves some weight. All counter points neglected in the interest of peace...
