I just don't get the relevancy of your post to the opinion of the opening post.
Be it , i dont see the relevance of chosing a case of pilot neglect that ended well for bashing a generation of new pilots as having no airmanship.
To me you are off-the-topic which is response training, not causal factors.
Obviously in that case one is closely linked to the other ,wouldnt you say?

I am all for more manual training /practice in the sim,such as dead stick landings,but i doubt dead stick landing technique is high on the list of appropriate training...id rather train them on ovoiding overruns,landing long and deep,as this is the major cause of accidents these days.

I just dont like this constant old dude pilot bashing on new pilots,thinking they were the holly grail to aviation...if only..
