I'd like to throw out that one of the pilots of that flight was pulling up during a stall warning. I don't think it's really similar to this accident, since it'd kind of be like the driver realizing they have to break, but gassing it instead. Also interesting is that in a Boeing, this likely would have never happened. In an Airbus control inputs are averaged together, so the captain had no idea his copilot was pulling back during a stall warning. In a Boeing, the control gear provides feedback (physically moves) to the pilots, so they would have been able to realize they were giving opposite inputs.

But I've had the stick back the whole time! At last, Bonin tells the others the crucial fact whose import he has so grievously failed to understand himself. 02:13:42 (Captain) Non, non, non... Ne remonte pas... non, non. No, no, no... Don't climb... no, no.
