My next check airman took my checkout leg to Dulles and was high and coupled the approach above glide slope in altitude hold and I said it won,t capture. When he saw the glide slope at the bottom he finally agreed with me when I said idle power, gear down, autothrottle and autopilot off and flaps on schedule. we landed because I just wanted a beer and didn't want to go around. My little Ca airline pilots knew how to fly, automation made these check airmen programmers. So sad.
