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.

Warning Will Robinson!!
If you go to a formal school with the eCourse and the eVerify test at the end, doing the memory stick alone will not cut it. I did the run time test in ATL and came close to passing the test but didn't. I finished going through the memory stick again this week, followed by a Vol II review of the system that I failed first time through but didn't pass the practice test this morning.
So, the eCourse (at least on the A330) is incomplete. You will need to also read the Vol II to fill in holes and LOD study. I'll write a critique, of course, but I think I'll also call HH at DALPA too.
I have a feeling that they tried to keep the memory stick info to a minimum since that is what they were paying us off of. It may be me.........I am the product of a public school education

At the expense of asking a question pertaining to Delta...
What does the SEA base look like these days?
Is it just 757 and A330?
Does anybody know what year the lowest FO was hired in each jet?
How many pilots are based there?

Yes, SEA only has the A330 & B757/767 bases there. Last I saw a 2007 hire could hold 757/767, but that may have changed in this latest bid(most likely became more senior). I think there are less then 200 pilots based there, but that's honestly just a guess.
