RAT 5, exactly the same experience here. I came from a UK operator who pushed the CDA concept very firmly indeed. When I left, I then took the same practices out to a European operation. The looks on the faces of the captains there when I selected V/S and told them I was trying to achieve a CDA was quite the picture. It's a cultural thing, they just don't get it. The amount of them who used to fly the platform to glideslope interception in Luton in blatant disregard (or ignorance) of the requests for CDA's there was quite something.
