Have heard it said that some airline pilots take their own personal GPS's so in something like a steam driven 737-200 it can be quicker to get pointed in the right diection in a "resume your own navigation" situation if you are going to an intersection rather than a VOR.
They probably do what I do in the Cherokee and fix it on the coaming with a bit of velcro. Look out for 727's, 737s, F-27s etc with a 4 inch strip of velcro on the glareshield. that'll tell you whether it's truth or myth.
