Using a technique unheard of until recently, carriers such as Delta Air Lines Inc. and South African Airways are sending some of their most experienced flight instructors back to flight school to learn how to recognize and recover from airborne upsets.
Ba ha ha ha, "unheard of" yeah except for every pilot who has so much as soloed or has over 20 hours of flight time.
Gotta love media always screwing up any story that has jack to do with aviation.
Heck, I had full spin training and full stall training before I even soloed as a student pilot.
As a CFI I do the same with my students (spins only if the plane is certified for em), plus I do falling leaf stalls.
If you can't reconiginze and recover from a stall you should just hang it up.
