Look at the last name. Any coincidence he is in a management position?

Tell me more about your vast aviation knowledge gained in your many years of flying.

Arbetar du for ett Amerikanskt flygbolag?

It appears that the Power levers are never fire-walled at MAX POWER?
The Attitude indicator is also showing a red down Arrow prompting the pilot to lower the nose to recover airspeed.....this is private pilot 101....no matter how hard you pull back the AC will not fly without air speed......
We are all humans and we make mistakes......it apears to be a salvageable stall......but I was not flying that fateful night and can only hope that I would have reacted differently

Jag är inte svenska. Jag har flugit Saab 340 en hel del.
Jag har en god vän på UPS som är svenska dock, så förlåt mig om detta säger jag är en groda.
Han är på detta forum också.
Skål,
