I'm just kidding but really? I don't fly, but its hard to believe someone could possibly get a pilot's license in the US without having been taught how to recover from a stall.
Although it has been removed from most flight test syllabuses, there are some countries that still require flight training on spin recovery. In the U.S. spin training is required only for flight instructor candidates. A spin occurs only after a stall, so the FAA emphasizes training pilots in stall recognition, prevention, and recovery as a means to reduce accidents due to unintentional stalls and/or spins.
