TowerDog. Yes, your 5,000 hours of flight on (I guess) the basic T clockwork instruments has stood you in good stead.
More like 13,000 hours on steam gauges and 3000 hours on glass.
Yes, I get your point, perhaps glass cockpits with speed tape reacting backwards and everything on 1 screen, makes it less obvious what is going on?

Not sure. Perhaps young pilots born and raised on glass, it would be second nature to them, no idea.
I never liked the glass cockpits and the "boxes", kept fumbling in the beginning.
Still do I guess.
Not my cup of tea.

No idea what the background of these pilots were, but only 3,300 hours each.
Looks like they could have used more time and more training.
