I think the problem is, Few cloudy, is that many of the younger guys on the new(er) fancy glass equipment, with just barely adequate training in real FLYING skills, just look at VABB, and see nothing but trouble.

IE, if it ain't a normal 3 degree straight in ILS, ala many airports in Europe, some of these guys just don't know how to cope.

Companies are no better either, suggesting that the automatics be used all the time, these folks just don't get the handling skills necessary, and that really is a shame, IMO.
Shock...horror.
How about...disconnect the autopilot, bias the flight director out of view, and FLY THE AEROPLANE.
