The summary references this annotated transcript:http://www.popularmechanics.com/prin...ppened-aboard-
air-france-447-6611877?page=all

I haven't seen references to it anywhere else (maybe I don't get out
enough) but it deserves a read, especially as I have seen it written that
many GA pilots are being taught that the way to recover from a stall is
"open the throttle and pull the stick back to maintain altitude". Didn't
work this time!

in the US, I have never ever heard of stall recovery being taught this
way in airplanes.
