Some pilot FReepers came on and said SOP is to set angle of attack and throttle and let the plane fly out of the situation.

with no horizon and no reliable instruments they were toast.. I don’t know what was happening with the power though I would think a stall warning would have the pilots adding power if the computer would allow it. I can see the Air France abnormal/emergency procedure manual update for 2012 ... in case of a total systems failure power up and get a glass of water for an attitude indicator.

Instead of pi$$ing your pants you should carry a glass and make good use of the urine, huh? Of course, that truly wouldn't tell you much unless you were in acceleration-free flight (no turns and level flight), and that is unusual in troubled times. But you knew that, didn't you?
