Skywest just made the national news... Apparently, a flight from Denver to Oklahoma City stalled causing a loss of more than 12000' before recovering.
That's more than "not paying attention" that's gross negligence and both crew members should have their certificates pulled.

"Months ago, one SkyWest CRJ aircraft experienced an isolated slow speed event, which is when an aircraft reaches less than optimal speeds," SkyWest told ABC. "The aircraft’s slow speed alert systems functioned perfectly, and the crew responded appropriately with a 4,000-foot descent. No stall occurred."

As for an "isolated incident" give me a break. Skywest has had numerous occasions of shakers or slow speed events. Which is why during recurrent there was a heavy emphasis on recovery and protocol reviewed last year. I also believe there was an email to all crews stating that slow speed events were occurring online and how to respond properly both in recovery and notifying ATC.

I agree, but for a company to send out "tech briefs" hit heavily on stall/slow speed recoveries ect... In recurrent, indicates more than just "one instance" of a slow speed event occurring.
