Never had a problem myself managing modern aircraft despite being brought up on B707's and B737-200's so what is your beef about the training organisation that put me on the B767/757? Same airline as you you ex brownie!
On giving the matter further thought I did use V/S from above to get on a glide slope when necessary but not in a climb. Do I pass now??
As it was a long time ago I reserve the right to have forgotten that.
When in GF and watching our leader of the day ( from AUH ) going into LHR and told to maintain 250kts which he duly dialled up but left aircraft in VNav, I watched the speed built up to 280kts before I suggested FLCH. Some Pilots are just not with it regardless of their background.
