Note the FD command bars (I hope that most aircraft inhibit these during an upset).
I don't know any aircraft that does that, or even if it's a good idea. Windshear recovery guidance, for instance, is a very useful thing to have on a flight director and some of the attitudes reached in a WS encounter could well be classed as "upset"...
I tend to side with
BOAC here as recovery from upsets / unusual attitudes is something that, IMHO, can be taught to, practiced and demonstrated at a high level of competency by any professional pilot worthy of the name. It doesn't need much more explanation than that - it's a shame that the training in some quarters isn't up to it and it doesn't need that much money or time spent on it, really.
I agree that there are almost always other causal factors involved, but if the guy at the controls doesn't have the skillset to resolve the situation, that's one ginormous hole going straight through the cheese and out the other side.
These days, out in the real world, I suspect you are more likely to be presented with a UA scenario than a V1 cut. If you had difficulty with engine failures in the sim I doubt you'd be set loose on the aircraft until you could cope... Do we do the same for UA training?
