Mmmmmm well I seem to remember a few skippers in a regional outfit flying around in large steam driven gauge turboprops with no autopilot all raw data but failed courses on the glass panel turbo props so we're put back onto the old girls. Another skipper failed a 737-300 sim check interview with an LCC as he couldn't fly 'glass'.
I find the two types of flying are arguable differnt and have their own challenges but none more so than the other just differnt. If one didn't have some mutual respect you could say.....
'Wonder how many pre historic poor CRM old school people could handle a complex emergency in an advanced jet such as an A320'
I for one respect both past and present
