Oh god don't talk about 135, it's in a really mess right now. Daily im hearing stories. Pay even worse now. & not many available with out having self sponsored type rating. I know ALPA people also here trying to change your views. Unfortunately in ALPA so many politics there.

You can have all the structured classroom training in the world. It won't do you a lick of good in real world unusual attitude and stall scenarios.
Until pilots start receiving initial and recurrent actual, not simulated, emergency maneuvers training. We are simply blowing hot air. Training needs to include recovery from inverted flight, vertical ANU and nose down and a full stall spin series to include cross over spins from every nose attitude.
Seeing this stuff is one thing feeling the blood rush to your head and the straps biting into your shoulders is an entirely different thing. Different enough that it often causes brain freeze, even in highly experienced pilots. And that includes military pilots, even fighter and attack guys who haven't done it in a while.
I fly competition aerobatics, I generally fly about 100 hours of aerobatic time a season. When I have taken a month or two off it takes me a flight or two to get back into my comfort zone.
