For those wondering, this is how ftb keeps it real on a Saturday night:
we're potty training right now and sometimes it looks similar to that. but what's missing is mom laying on the floor crying, dada on the computer in the corner and the baby approaching the mess in an army crawl.
(I go to church in the evenings now so I'm free to post in the morning with the rest of the heathens)

If all the instruments were functioning "normally" at the last 15000 feet, what were the instruments doing the previous 15000+ feet? Plus what was the stall computer logic below a certain speed? Remember it that fooled everyone involved, and provided a contributing factor to the accident. It got so bad that it shut off, but corrections actually turned it back on, during a recovery attempt once the speed reset the logic.
It appears that pitch/power relationships that are basic fundamentals to our work were indeed overlooked, but to play devils advocate, one must consider again airbus engineer logic disconnect with the human-computer interface in regards to this accident. This accident chain was started with a faulty pitot/static probe heater.
