That is EXACTLY what some time spent in a non-airline enviroment would have not taught him not to do -- no matter how little sleep he had. In fact "taught" is a poor word, "burned into his soul" would be a better term.
We are a product of our experiance, and that experiance should be deeper than a mud puddle when step into our first 121 job.
He did not hold the yoke back! He got the shaker and added about 15% power. He got the pusher and he fought the pusher 3 separate times. He also never increased the power over 60%..... The Q400 would have very easily powered out of the stall had he just went to max power, but we all know how it ended.
