Ironic that your world believes that Flight Sims are the same as real flying in terms of emergency training.
My world still requires us to do it for real.
Just remind me the last time you did an actual V1 cut under the hood?
Just remind me the last time you flew at VMCA?
Just remind me the last time you pulled to the stick push or carried out an inflight shutdown and relight?
I agree.
Flight Sims don't really count as flying.

I agree, not rocket science but enough to keep you working the brain cells.
I sometimes think I am worse in a glass cockpit because the arousal is so low. This is compounded by the tendency to believe that these modern systems wont fail so you trust them too much, whereas some old stuff I have flown failed all the time so required constant monitoring keeping you up to speed in parallel with the systems ready to take over.
Again, I am in agreement over the initial systems learning being perhaps much harder and possibly too hard if a quick glance at the Air France A330 thread is anything to go by. Lots of Bus pilots on there who seem to disagree about most things.
