My thoughts..
You train to handle the aircraft, with each successive failure after another, with competence, untill your a power out, dark aircraft, no nav, no radios, no electrical system, a glider, to the point of the landing where you have either picked out an acceptable landing spot or can effictively crash the aircraft and save the passengers.
Anything less then this is unnacceptable performance from that pilot.
If you need to rely on the FMS, GPS, F. D. , TCAS, TAWS, HSI, and auto pilot to get from point A to B, fly boxes untill your ready to carry passengers.
The current thought in schools these days that a raw data approach is an 'emergency procedure' flies in the face of the fact that scores of 'kids' are flying cargo runs with little more then raw data instruments each and every night.
This isn't a debate. Airline hiring team players vs people with skills is what is creating this 'debate'
Explain this to the passengers, see what they think.
