Good thread bolt.
Civilian CFIs with 500 hours dual given have been on the edge of the envelope many times.
Military pilots have many training flights at the edge of the envelope.
Repeat from regional thread pertinent to this discussion:

Stick Shaker = Slow Flight
Recovery is increasing the power and maintaining the pitch while the airplane accelerates. As lift overcomes weight/drag, you'll have to push forward on the controls and/or trim nose down to maintain level flight.
Don't pull back and increase the pitch. You'll end up in a pilot induced pitch oscillation that at the upper pitch attitude will engage the stick pusher.
Stick Pusher = Imminent Aerodynamic Stall
The airplane is automatically doing what pilots would do in successful recoveries of imminent or full aerodynamic stalls.
It's not rocket surgery
