I've been looking at this thread and a few others where pilots didn't see a stall comming.
I know that most commercial pilots don't fly anything besides their "big" jets, and most don't even have the papers for smaller aircrafts anymore, and have only flown them a few hours during their initial training.
I was wondering if training in smaller aircrafts, like old-school Pipers and Cessnas with old fashined instruments (clocks), would actually help even airline pilots getting better in the basic understanding of flying. the kind of flying where every action requires a proper reaction.
What I mean is, if you loose speed you shouldn't get confused and try to figure out what the computer does, you should push the throttle and lower the nose a bit without even thinking about the computer, and what it does, or why it does it.
Guess aircrafts that can actually spin could be good training as well
It's really sad to see accidents that could've been saved by very basic flyingskills.
