The next time you are at FL350 at M .82 in your airliner try pulling the controls into a full nose up position. Guess what, you end up 3,000 ft higher in a full stall. It will happen every time. ...

I know lowering the nose that one time regenerated the stall warning but these guys were not pilots they were computer operators. We need our pilots back flying our airplanes, not computer operators.

Yes, I agree, keep a stable attitude and power, get out the UAS checklist, fine tune it a bit and fly out of the icing. It takes some piloting skills but don't we all have them?
