klm capt . he knowingly attempted a unauthorized take off in poor vis . the 447 pilot i think was pulling back on the stick during a stall? no one will ever know why he made the dreadful input however he was trying his best to prevent a crash in confusing circumstances,
just "JR"
Air France 447! I will NEVER understand that an EXPERIENCED pilot does NOT realise he is in a STALL!!! You learn that in your first few hours of flight training! (I loved "loosing a wing" in my trials!)

447 guy was young and inexperienced.
The KLM was older, very experienced. But he had a “brain fart”. Brain farts happen to all of us.
I would say the 447 guy was worse.

The KLM pilot ordered a take off when ATC said dense fog. His first officer even protested. !00 % his fault.
Air France, pilot made an error, trying to compensate.

It is hard to fault pilots when they are trained to TRUST YOUR INSTRUMENTS. Yeah, it is like trusting a fuel gauge that has been stuck at full for a year but one can always pull over. Pilots do not have that option.
