I am repeating this but my first B767 check out with a check airman as FO he wanted to take the leg to Dulles but he had it so screwed up high and fast I told him autopilot and autothrottle off, pull the speed brakes out, idle power, configure because he forgot to arm the approach mode so flew through glide slope and we dove down and salvaged the approach. We were to meet for breakfast but he didn't show up. He paced the grounds outside all night because he was so upset with himself. They aren't any better than us line guys.
