Concur - we just need to face the reality that DR is basically guessing where you are. DR navigation significantly increases cockpit workload, requires more flying currency, is subject to mental errors and does not allow the flexibility to safely divert around weather in a lot of circumstances. It's not fit for purpose in 2016.

DR is unsafe. There - I said it!

GPS should be normal. DR should be the endorsement.
