Co-pilots May Sim instead of Fly to Train

Maybe so, but it's a far cry from the type of simulation you are doing
sitting in front of your PC.

There are all different types of simulation, and they all have their
purpose.

Just idling an engine is not at all the same as losing it completely,
and in this instance, a PC simulation may actually be closer to
reality.

The level of stress is much higher and the pilot gets experience
performing under stress.

There's a lot more to flying than stress. Stress isn't any good if
you don't know what to do.
