Any self-respecting driver should be pleased to use CDA as a part of his/her skills. I was very pleased when it was introduced at both London airports . The satisfaction of a well managed approach without flying level .
I am amazed how freakish I seem to the locals on my fleet in the sandpit when I try to teach them how to manage distance to go vs height etc - the airline cannot be bothered with teaching any skills or airmanship to the cadets. Just the basics , might as well disconnect V/S , just as they might as well disconnect the indicators on their Porsches as they do not seem to need them or even know how to operate them .But then again , they cannot fly a visual approach or circuit , a circling approach is an abomination to them !
