Isn't that condition called by jet jockies as " Coffin Corner "
1. If you increased hight you would bust vne and prob fall apart ,
2. If you stalled recovering the aircraft would also bust vne and
prob fall apart.
3. If you retarded the throttles the pitch chance would stall you

4. If you lowered the nose do descend you would bust vne.

wrong.
