Half the pax don't even know what UTC is anyway 
Did you adjust your gaze trajectory to the current time indicator on your left radius and apply the TZD (Time Zone Difference) to relay the correct temporal information?

Don't know about you guys, but all the years that I flew the aircraft clocks were set on GMT and my personal watch set to destination time. Worked for me

I know what I kharmael implied. I never cared about checking local times during flying, but only UTC current time and other temporal information on MCDU (also in UTC). I focus on pilots' behavior during meeting RTAs until all their scheduled or rescheduled waypoints in the future.
I can see many of you have the NEGATIVE angle on my research idea, and have the attitude "we are okay with the current systems of latest technologies for our temporal operations." Maybe for some of them, it will be better than "okay". I understand the pilots' perception. Radically, once pilots are trained and accustomed, their interfaces will be the most optimized and comfortable environment, and many current flight deck displays for time information are well-designed.
However, researchers are always seeking "potential error". On a time like this, I may seem to do foolish things. If many pilots indicate problems during meeting times in flight operations, it will be easier to figure out what need to be improved. If not, researchers should explore the potential problem. That's my job.
No one in this thread indicated any personal perception to be a problem when conducting temporal operations. Maybe I need to create another thread for this subject to call people's attention.
Thank you again folks for your replies.
