This is an industry wide problem, not regional vs mainline or even my regional vs your regional. We all know as pilots, stall recovery requires reducing angle of attack yet time and time again situations occur where pilots override the automation. I flew with a sim instructor last week and I asked him what people are having trouble with in the sim today. His response was a shocking number of pilots pull back against the stick pusher as oposed to letting the nose come down and get the wing flying again. We need to stop pointing fingers and get serious about upset recovery or more accidents are going to follow no matter who you fly on.
