We practice stalls,
Then IF you ever encounter one,
You instinctively react to recover from one.

Simple actions lost on pilots who only fly by computer.

The Bagram flight lost its horz stab when the load shifted and damaged the turn screw. So, the crew were doomed.

I know you do. . . but you have to have a flyable plane to do that, not one that has the tail surfaces incapable of any movement as in the case of the Bagram 747. And you have to have a living, capable pilot present and powered on engines as in the case of TWA-800.
