This analysis of the transcript is such an interesting and terrifying read: https://www.popularmechanics.com/flight/a3115/what-really-happened-aboard-air-france-447-6611877/
Edit: it's pretty similar to what was posted above.
That is genuinely frightening; that 3 airline pilots could not work out that their plane was absolutely stalled and falling like a brick, a skill that (as far as I can work out) is fundamental to flying even the smallest, most basic aeroplane.
