Do you need to go through specific driver training for every different car you drive?
I know at American when I worked there the pilots had to have sim seat time before they got to sit in the real deal. Then they had to be checked out. I'm not a pilot but I spoke with many since I worked crew skd. Planes have different flight characteristics, instrumentation ... etc. Even the SR71's had a flight sim that they learned/trained in.
