The thing is, without the FAA mandating something like this for SRE’s, no one will do it. In the moment, getting the broken thing back up and running is seen as far more important than the learning opportunity.

I noticed this constraint a few years ago when the SRE/DevOps hiring market was really tight, but no one was investing in non-senior talent. I ended up founding a startup that tried to address this by supplying training via simulated outages. Maybe we were too early.
