I agree with Chief Wiggam.

In my experience, the guys who seemed to be blindly following LNAV/VNAV are within 12 months of their line training, but they tend to be very interested in applying basic modes when given a chance. Often, removing VNAV display is a great tool for forcing a newbe into managing their descent profile.

I'm sure that there are some exceptions as with all generalisations, but if you have an obvious issue with-in your operation, it's likely that the line training wasn't thorough enough.

Knowledge precedes Power, created by Education.

L/Dog.
