Was going to say exactly this.  Pilots do practice recovery training (with normal stall recovery as well as in adverse conditions), and I&#x27;m sure all of the pilots on board were aware (or at least should have been aware) of the correct procedure.<p>Airbuses are weird beasts though, and I have to say that as a pilot I find the normal stall recovery procedure to be completely counter intuitive.  The compounding problems with the pitot tubes being iced over plus seeing St. Elmo&#x27;s Fire due to improperly routing the aircraft directly into a thunderstorm certainly didn&#x27;t help matters.
