That's the point.
Is this the time where we have to have a long hard look at where pilots come from and what is "adequate" in terms of ability, training and experience? Or is it a function of the fact that aircraft now are so reliable, that exposure to things going wrong for real is so small that pilots are not able to cope?
In the past, aircraft were less reliable, so we all had exposure (horribly regular) to things going wrong. Now it is common to achieve command without a diversion or a circling approach. Let alone the a/p dumping you into a state with lots of untrimmed yaw.
My thoughts are that this has to be addressed in the sim. More sim time, and most importantly, less of the prescribed statutory "events" and more random stuff with a focus on initial actions. Once the startle is overcome and the initial quick diagnosis and initial actions done correctly, there is a much greater chance of a successful outcome.
Sim, sim, sim. Sadly though, the mantra is cost, cost, cost.
