I wonder if it's time to require 5 hrs of aerobatic of training for your commercial pilot license?

As a civilian trained pilot I didn't think it was necessary. Military training made me realize how valuable the training experience was.
misd-agin, am with you on that one.

D.P.Davies in his classic book "Handling the Big Jets" stated airline pilots should have unusual attitude refresher/training in basic a/c on a regular basis (I think he said once a year).

Interesting that the book was written in the 1960s!
