I agree - the documentary was unremarkable, but welcomely unsensationalist.
One thing I find truly remarkable was the chief pilot's statement that transport pilots nowadays don't undergo stall training. Can anyone confirm this?
I find it quite incredible. As a student glider pilot, I have to do stall and spin recovery training, learning to recognize the symptoms and recovery procedures for both. To me it seems like a very important component of core flying skills, and I'd be really surprised if transport pilots don't do this.
