I agree with IO540 that the availability of a chute could lead to being relaxed about the weather. Thats a BIG danger!
As to the glass cockpit, I know there are courses, but anyone having learned to fly on a sixpack could theoretically go out in a glass cockpit plane with no or little training and screw up big time. Even the arrival of GPS caused this, a new piece of kit, so let's go out and check it out in the air.... I remember that day well!
