They think that as long as they're coordinated, they're safe. It's not
true. That's why we have stall/spin scenario training: so they see the
various conditions that can cause it. Awareness is greatly enhanced,
believe me. They get much more careful in the circuit.

Got it. Drop me a line back channel and I'll make a few comments on it
and we can toss it around a bit :-)
