That’s a big part of the problem. With the exception of some military pilots most airline pilots entire stall experience is in light aircraft with straight wings. There stall characteristics are vastly different then a awept wing high performance jet. Most simulators have no fidelity in reproducing stalls and even if they could the violence that often accompanies a stall/departure from controlled flight in high performance aircraft will always be missing. Essentially we have no real training for the post departure regime.
