My checkairman at our major airline wanted a leg into IDA on my 767 FO checkout. I told him he had not selected APP, just LOC and he blew through it, I then said go to idle power, gear down, speedbrakes and lower the flaps. He did and we landed but sometimes it doesn't matter how many stripes you have. In my first airline the guy in the right seat was just as qualified as the guy in the left seat. We didn't hire computer operators, we hired real pilots. My sim check was in an electra because that was the only sim we owned. One engine approach with three shut down but we could do it back then. No buttons to push.
