Yes yes and I know all of that We can argue semantics but the reason AF stalled is the same reason a Cessna would stall (too high of an AoA) And fair enough the comparison with the Cessna might be bad, but compare it with a 737-200 or even an A300 and the comparison will be much closer even though the 737 doesn't have the fancy cockpit > things like overspeeding it will cause it to go out of control. Well that would be the case of the Cessna as well, if it has enough power |

Jetliners do have the power to overspeed, and the efficient place to be in the flight envelope is quite near it. A Cessna cannot.
There's a rather small envelope a jetliner operates in at altitude. A Cessna is far more forgiving, though you can get into deep doo-doo with that if you try.
You are correct that stall recovery is the same for both airplanes.
Although I know a lot about airplanes as an engineer, I am not a pilot and have not had pilot training.
My dad would attack artillery (Korean War) by diving straight down on it. I'm pretty sure his jet was fitted with dive brakes.
