What planet are these people on?

As if the MPL couldn't have any less flying, I was unaware that UPRT was just conducted in a simulator, just what planet are these people on!?!? A simulator cannot possibly re-create the feeling and forces of proper upset flight, barely any point in doing it at all.
If you want Upset Recovery training go Gliding, Spins and Stall as much as you want, practice winch launch failures and energy management. If you can afford an Intergrated ATPL you can afford to do some proper basic flying... even if you're school won't give it to you.
Makes me even more concerned with young cadets for an orange airline recently posting to the world on social media and their countless blogs about being excited to fly a real aircraft again in line training. I know simulators are realistic and supposedly the way forwards in training but I don't even want to know how few hours they've spent doing real flying. But what do we know?
