Narrative:

I was riding jump seat from home, commuting to work. I am a captain, qualified in the same equipment. I noted to the captain (PF) that I thought the thrust setting was low and questioned the aircraft ability to make the climb to FL350. I also questioned the low indicated airspeed. Both concerns were ignored by captain. The aircraft eventually arrived at FL350. The autoplt tried to maintain altitude, but airspeed decayed and the autoplt disconnected. While trying to maintain altitude, the captain allowed the airspeed to decay to the point of stick shaker. At this time I felt the need to yell repeatedly, 'push it over.' stall recovery was eventually started with a loss of altitude of 4000 ft.

Title: AN ACR FLC FLYING CL65 STALLED THEIR ACFT AFTER LEVELOFF AT FL350.

Narrative: I WAS RIDING JUMP SEAT FROM HOME, COMMUTING TO WORK. I AM A CAPT, QUALIFIED IN THE SAME EQUIP. I NOTED TO THE CAPT (PF) THAT I THOUGHT THE THRUST SETTING WAS LOW AND QUESTIONED THE ACFT ABILITY TO MAKE THE CLB TO FL350. I ALSO QUESTIONED THE LOW INDICATED AIRSPD. BOTH CONCERNS WERE IGNORED BY CAPT. THE ACFT EVENTUALLY ARRIVED AT FL350. THE AUTOPLT TRIED TO MAINTAIN ALT, BUT AIRSPD DECAYED AND THE AUTOPLT DISCONNECTED. WHILE TRYING TO MAINTAIN ALT, THE CAPT ALLOWED THE AIRSPD TO DECAY TO THE POINT OF STICK SHAKER. AT THIS TIME I FELT THE NEED TO YELL REPEATEDLY, 'PUSH IT OVER.' STALL RECOVERY WAS EVENTUALLY STARTED WITH A LOSS OF ALT OF 4000 FT.
