411A,
You're right on the money, the OBSESSION with programming and using the FMS seems these days to lead some pilots to feel that they don't need to fly the actual aircraft and use their own judgement, as a 737 TRE I've seen this in the sim SO many times. Its been said before but maybe I need to say it again - whatever the 'kit' you've got in the flightdeck you're still a pilot and must fly the aeroplane and use your awareness and airmanship to ensure safety, you need to know where the terrain is, where the airfield is and where you are at all times. Theres nothing new here, its good old fashioned FLYING.............
