Prob: "Half the problem is that guys are not comfortable flying a "steep" approach. (lack of bush time maybe or they dont like the reduced vis out of the front of a IFR machine)"

Solution: I agree wholeheartedly.
Pay the cojoes more to get a better candidates and to retain all the good ones. In doing this raise the entry requirements to reflect a "bush" background of experience.
Lack of Vis: "kick" it out of balance! No big deal and pretty much the safest way to fly the 76. No point in both the pilots being unable to see the approach clearly because of a reluctance to deal with the poor vis....

"My opinion is that it is the only way to approach if you are going to guarantee success in the unlikely event of a donk failure post LDP."
....been there....proved that
