why a priority?

Pushing the stick and pulling the release is *one* movement. You don't
have to think about it.

The reason I brought this up is that I have seen many pilots nearly
bungle a recovery while pulling the release.

I just don't believe this. But *if* it were true, then those pilots
would *urgently* need a couple of training flights.

Even with a hand on the
release, there's no guarantee a pilot will pull it - I've seen pilots
take their hand off the release and pull the spoilers.

Again, if this were true, then those pilots would urgently need a couple
of training flights.

It seems that there's something very wrong with the pilot training at
your site.
