I haven’t heard before of a program where basic ATP maneuvers aren’t part of the AQP, but I guess that could be the case. V1 cuts aren’t part of the day to day 121 flying but they are still usually something that is tested. You don’t normally do stall recovery as well, but that is also part of most training programs.

It’s a check the box item in training. The plane doesn’t stall. You have to have multiple system failures before it can happen. No stalls in any of the 3 validation rides.

I’m not attacking UAL or their training, everyone I know that has gone through it says it’s exceptional. But the Airbus can stall, and it has happened.

Yeah, it’s not like there’s ever been a major accident with everyone killed because a modern airbus stalled.

Still, any airline can have an accident. Taking to friends who are in training departments at majors one of the things that scares them is the lack of breadth among many new hires. Many have never even been a PIC under 121.

I see now what you wrote. “Tested” and I assumed trained.

Such is life that they get preference over more qualified candidates.
