Care to take a guess at what percentage of participants, all FAA ATPs, did exactly what the Air France FO did?
UA had a 757 approaching Ireland in 2011 experience the same unreliable airspeed.
Initiated two proper stall recoveries before flying pitch and power.
European pilots lack applied decision making experience as a product of their 'accelerated' training. It's not their fault EASA is in a magenta line mentality but it will manifest itself when shtf.
