AirRabbit When a have a few moments I will read the documents, however my current impression of MPL is that:
1.the "Al Haynes" types will be extinct thereafter---
2. BorrrrrrrrinG!
3. I would be thoroughly annoyed with myself if I couldn't track to an NDB in a C-180 [yes I know of the supposed 'phaseout' but it's the FAA] after having flown 6000 miles in an A340 or 777
However, I will not comment more about this until I read the 'facts' you are right a bit short-sighted on my part, but I've seen sooooo many arrogant clowns starting on glass cockpits---who probably can't even read a sectional/use a plotter or flight computer/ determine a RB and WCA or do a proper lazy eight---all they SEEM to know/speak about is Ray Ban and Breitling---I like Fossil watches myself BTW--not too overstated, but elegant.
I'm standing by for my thrashing
