John, you are correct. I have used DECCA, OMEGA, INS and GPS plus my own 
DR and HOWGOZIT and my Jeppsen Wheel in case all of the electrons decide 
to bail out with no warning.

The new game in the flying business is Glass cockpits, computer loaded 
flight plan routing, mode selectors, autothrottle, ACARS position 
reporting along with Captain by virtue of a SENIORITY number are Captain.
All of the ground school, cockpit procedures trainer CPT and simulator 
is learn by rote and train to a cheapest level of proficiency. You do 
not bust a guy on a check ride anymore, you give him a sim session 
covering his week points and give another sim check ride.
If you bust a guy the Frigging union comes down on you with the wrath of 
the Almighty. Because he has a number.

Been there done that on both ends of the stick.
