The advisory circular which initiated the EET Training can be read here:
https://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/...-111_CHG_1.pdf
In the AC it states:
Air carriers should develop training curriculums that provide
pilots with the knowledge and skills to prevent, recognize, and recover from unexpected
flightpath divergences and upset events. These training curriculums should contain the elements
and events described in Appendix 1.
Maybe Republic's approach to satisfying this requirement of the AC resulted in a training event that is "Far from 'extremely basic.'" I wouldn't know. I'm not a Republic pilot. But having participated in my airlines EET Training Event to satisfy this AC, the training was pretty damn basic, almost insulting. "You may have an ATP and thousands of hours, but here is how you recognize an approach to stall and how to recover from a stall." But, I took it for what it was, did the maneuvers and checked the box. Next!
And just because Republic's EET Training is "Far from extremely basic" it's not a judgement of your ability to fly an airplane if the safety department does an analysis of the event for internal release. Putting out a narrative of the facts of the event to the pilot group so everyone can vicariously experience the upset and learn from it, that's not a slap in the face, it's an opportunity to learn and always strive to be better tomorrow than you are today.
All in the name of safety, man.
