The analogy relating to business systems does hold - and in a surprising way.

Many companies have business continuity policies in place to be used in the event of a system failure while system repair/recovery takes place.

It is often a regulatory requirement in certain businesses and jurisdictions.

Plans are prepared and maintained and staff trained in what is needed in the event of a large failure. This takes up time and significant resources.

If other businesses can invest in their staff to enable them to manually keep things going in a system failure situation then surely it makes business sense as well as safety sense to do the same with pilots.

Medium to large businesses will also run full-scale disaster scenarios to ensure that as part of the recovery process, availability within a specified time can be assured.

Another significant investment of time and money in the business version of the Flight Sim.
