Coupling this topic to those about the dilution of manual flying skills and flight path visual judgement, I hear there are airlines who have grave doubt about the capabilities of even captains to conduct visual finals to runways without GP guidance. To that effect it is only allowed if there is a VNAV constructed path from a minimum 4nm point to the runway. Further, some use airports where a circuit is required to the non-instrument landing runway with PAPI's unreliable or non-existent. A circuit is constructed with FMC WPT's and full LNAV/VNAV guidance to bring you onto a visual finals 'in the slot'. A classic 'children of the magenta line' approach to a circuit arrival. Sad days.
One day there will be an advert for 'Airline Dodo's wanted'.
