Flight Detent: "General statement - there are many operators out there that are little more than computer operators (game console operators), and hence rely fully on the computer screen to both advise the problem and what to do about it!

How many of the current young crop of pilots would know how to fly an airplane that's equipped with older round dial flight instruments, and thereby demonstrate their understanding of conventional navigation.

I'll say no more - I can feel my blood pressure rising - it just ticks me off when I hear of this modern stuff, when it's all just TV screens and follow the little arrow to the destination!"

Good idea - actually, let's get rid of the Internet and www thing and all progress, because these days with computers kids have pretty well forgotten how use pencils. Isn't this just as stoopid as your rant?
