Another words if you had pulled that CA aside and asked him to explain stalls and recovery procedures, he would have gotten it wrong? A PPL should be able to get out of a stall. It's very obvious that airline training played a very key role in this, or lack of it, along with other factors like fatigue and maybe even crew pairings.
Isn't the real shame the lack of a good instrument scan. If I remember correctly, neither noticed the aircraft slowing to or below 100 kts until the stick shaker. Part of being a competent pilot is having a good instrument scan. With a good scan and better situational awareness, the stick shaker would not have occured. Extra training in stall revovery is not going to make air travel safer. Why is training in a manuever so fundamental to initial solo flight even being contemplated?
