In the military combat flying is competitive because one has to be better than the other guy. The pilot has to develop the ability to push the aircraft to limits and to achieve that most of the flying they do is training flying. In commercial flying you fly to make money and for that there is a minimum standard laid down which is practiced mostly in SIM. On line the maximum you can practice is raw data instrument approaches or a visual approach and that is not such a big thing. You cannot push or bust anything that is laid down nor is it required. In AF447 or QZ8501 all that the crew needed to know was in alternate law you never apply full back stick or to the sides for that matter and the carnage would have been avoided. Especially QZ8501 was entirely crews creation.
