Angel Flight - Should airline pilots have more/better/different upset recovery training?

I believe, and practiced, getting to know your aircraft in good and bad situations, leading to confidence building trust in the recoverability of any unusual attitudes it instills in pilots....is of paramount importance in
piloting aircraft (or driving cars in adverse conditions etc)

I am afraid that automisation has lulled the aviation community in a sense of submission to leave it to the computers to handle the flying. No wonder that some pilots don't even qualify to fly a Tiger Moth (well, that is...) !
