Evening news, 1/29/2015. We see a retired United A320 pilot "do what Air Asia Did" in an A320 simulator.
I question the accuracy...it's reported the plane banked left and wallowed and stalled.
Yeah, sure you can halfway repeat it (and they did) and maybe it looks frighteningly similar to reality, but you are copying the airplane movements- NOT repeating what actually happened.
The gem though was the Pilot saying "We are too slow, we are stalling we need more power".
No, Gabe, the words "Angle of Attack" were not mentioned...and remember, speed and power do affect stalls
Of course, guess what I think we saw...
...the highly-trained Airbus pilot reciting the well-practiced procedure (indeed, you do need more speed and power)...but God forbid we mention the fundamental of lower the nose like you do repeatedly in a 150 in your first 10 hours of training...I bet that was "untrained". Especially since it's an Air Bus
Conversely, God forbid the media report an actual fact, when "too slow and more power" makes much more sense than AOA to someone who drives a car.
