& teach the guys & gals at the sharp end to FLY out of problems
And that's the rub.. Simulators are just the vehicle to learn how to FLY out of problems. But when the majority of check pilot/simulator instructors have no idea how to first demonstrate rather than simply criticise from the jump seat, then it is easier for them to talk the pilot under training through button pressing rather than actually placing hands on the flight controls and throttles and fixing the problem quickly.
