It’s too costly to send the pilots back into the sim? What kind of flawed logic is that? The whole point of a sim is to practice and review scenarios regarded too risky to do in an actual airplane. Seems those in charge (manufacturer/airlines/feds) have come up with an algorithm that puts a price on human life, which is cheaper than sim training.
