Once again, there is nothing wrong with the design of the aircraft. The pilots had ALL of the control necessary to save the aircraft.
It may appear that they regained control of the aircraft at 2000ft, but they had not and it takes 2-5 thousand feet to recover a transport category aircraft from a full stall like they were in (depending on how high you are).
All I want everyone here to know is that Airbus is completely safe to fly. Training for this aircraft is completey up to date and they pilots were COMPLETELY at fault...they did nothing right.

I'd ride the Airbus any day. Heck I just took an A330 across the Pacific a few weeks ago. The head phone jack was broken in my seat so I couldn't watch any movies, but other than that the 15 hour trip was fine.
