Jet Upset Recovery training

Very good topic and one many airlines are now training, but what are the best simulator exercises. There are many good movies, PPP, etc but it's all talk. Nothing beats the practical application.

Conclusion; over 75% of airline pilots could not recover the aircraft on the first attempt. Now the good news; after the three days of training, over 90% of these same pilots could recover the aircraft from a litany of upset scenarios.
bburks - I would be very interested to know what the training entailed. Both classroom and simulator, not just the theory but the actual exercises.

Oh grammar and spell check - just type in word first then check, correct and paste to this medium.
