I thought Douglas VNAV was an NDB and the ability to rapidly calculate 300 ft / NM based on 3 miles per minute, you mean it isn't? Isn't the standard way to change frequencies to tower; "sorry, was that a problem for you ?"
The beauty of the 737 system is that if the FO's RA is out the Captain and LCA still have the left side and the HUGS, so they sit over there and critique the FO's hand flying to SA CATIII standards at 02:30 in the morning after a runway change 6 miles from the airport (or at least that's my experience with it).
