(Ie. attitude/stall I have control, push, roll, thrust, stabilized).
This is something I find deeply troubling. Why are pilots being taught this? By the time you get into the front of an A320/330/340/350/380 you should not have to be doing this sort of training, you should already know how to recover from an unusual attitude!

Nose low, excessive bank? How does it go? Attitude, I have control, disengage, push? errrr no, pull?, errrr no, not that either, roll? yeap good idea. OK so now we have to go back a step to push? nope, pull? yeah lets do that. FFS, this training item shows what the standards have become, it's scary!

Here is an idea, if an airline finds themselves having to train this why not allocate more sim time to those who need it and get them to a point of instinctive recovery from any attitude? Rhetorical, I know the answer.
