Specially i would like to see what they say about V/S mode. In my airline they seem scared of it, they don't use it at all and almost panic when I do, but I don't know why.
I've noticed an unreasonable fear of the V/S mode ever since that Pinnacle Airlines "four-one-oh-it dude" accident. Somehow that means nobody is safe unless they use one of the speed control modes. I guess keeping an eye on the IAS and making a little adjustment when needed is just too much to expect.

Anyway, maybe that explains it.
