In reference to airliners I think that a pilot who is on the ball enough to be able to competently and efficiently recover from a UA probably wouldn't have got into the situation in the first place. Assuming that a pilot has allowed a UA to develop we must also assume that their skills are most likely average at best.
I think that has a ring of truth about it. If it’s the aeroplane that’s caused it despite your best efforts then it’s in the lap of the gods anyway.
It always seemed to me that the kind of “close your eyes... Tadaaa!” sim instruction would be much better directed towards practice at recognising the symptoms of impending doom and doing something about it before it’s too late.
Agree with much of what Centaurus has said, too.
