I will say this, (and this is as far as I recall the story) when CAE built the simulator for the E145 they couldn't get the data from Embraer to do it because of an exclusive deal with FlightSafety. So they put instruments in an E145, took it offline and spent a month or so taxiing it and flying it around and gathering the data. At one point they said we need to do a stall with the pusher off. The pilot who had been doing it balked at the idea and said no. They found another pilot (all of these guys were former mil because they had more experience in extreme stuff) and he went out and did it. He then came back and told the previous pilot "Never again." Didn't elaborate.
