Recollect, as captain in a well respected airline (no, not BA), continually crashing in a sim severe windshear exercise because I refused to pre-empt the windshear.
If, at the first indication of reducing IAS, one had applied full power then one would have survived but that is NOT how a little bit of windshear is handled in real life.
I initially refused to play the game but eventually stuck on full poke and climbed away. To this day I have no idea what they were attempting to teach us.
