I think most of them train stalls in the simulator on a regular basis.
Spins however... I might be wrong, but to my knowledge, most transport
category airplanes would break on spin recovery.

There are now companies (www.fcitraining.com, www.stallion51.com to
name two
examples) that are trying
to market specialty training in unusual attitude recovery, using
aircraft capable of aerobatics. I don't know if any of the major
airlines have bought into this,
but I understand that some of the corporate flight departments have.

I will also note that just about any airline pilot has practiced stall
recovery
in light planes during their training and some have done spin training
in light
aircraft, as well.

Whether or not this is revelant to large aircraft operations
or not seems to be a "hot topic" these days and I, personally, have no
idea
what the answer is?

this
would be useful training for airline pilots
