I don't think recovery from deep stalls is actually much of a safety issue with airliners. Are there any instances where an airliner has deep stalled and then successfully recovered? By definition, a deep stall is one where standard stall recovery procedures won't be effective.

yeah because they tend to pitch down way before reaching a full wing stall, but the max pushes the partial stall deeper.
