Just to add to the debate, unusual attitude training is a must for when things go pear shaped
Quite right. I understand that Boeing have a simulation package to cover unusual attitude recovery training. The only problem is the simulated attitudes are relatively benign with a maximun bank angle of around 45 degrees and nose up of 25 degrees and nose low of 10 degrees. It does not address the severe unusual attitudes that were recorded on FDR's of accident aircraft such as those discussed in this and other similar discussions on Pprune.
