Agree 100%. What I meant was - commercial pilots need to learn the feeling of a spin, stall, unusual attitude, upset etc... Not that they need to learn full acrobatics.

It's like playing guitar, or piano... to be able to sing and not look at the instrument. To know where the keys/strings are innately... mind map the notes.

A lot of great comments coming regarding the necessity for pilots to accrue mandatory hours in a glider/acrobatic type... We live in hope that the safety people out-vote the bean counters and we get pilots into glider/acrobatic aircraft.

Oh well... we can dream eh?!?
