Even if it is a good idea to bring back Spin training...
The overwhelming majority of FI's who have qualifed in the last 10 years are going to need to do some training before they demonstrate it never mind teach it.
The skill base has gone now, if you brought it in again without trying to get some experence back it would be carnage.
I have done a reasonable amount of spinning in tommys and Cessna and in no way would I call myself an expert. 2-3 times I have managed to get the aircraft into a mode of spin which doesn't recover with the POH "method" of recovery. Thankfully in my FIC the FII managed to flick over in a steep turn into spin and we had to increase the power to get the rudder working again to get out of it. Well we only had 700 ft agl left when we recovered.
I can see Darwin effect removing an awful lot of talent limited instructors from the instructors pool if they bring it back.
