The Bus is a nice flying airplane. You have protections, but you still need to fly it like any other airplane. The prots would be kicked off and so if you are hearing a stall warning, your instinct would be power on and nose down or level. Even in the Normal Law we are never told to pull up and reduce power for a stall.....

Reading the article it seems the very first reaction was to reduce power and climb. Why? I cannot think of ANY situation where this would be the first choice
