I'm asking because your argument is ridiculous. Sure the flying was easier back when everything was VFR. Heck, there were old timers who were confused clueless when we first got RJs with FMS. Same thing with line bidding vs. PBS (any PBS system). Putting line bid may be easier. But once you learn a PBS system, it's not any harder. It may even be easier. You have to invest time to learn new way of doing things to make your life easier. Your argument sounds awful a lot like an old pilot at an EAA Saturday breakfast who says "I never bothered with that instrument stuff. Too much stuff to learn."
Thanks for making my point. That book is written in complete, cohesive, English. It's not like we are talking about DOS here. We have apps for everything that are intuitive. Yet we are stuck with people having to ask how to get a line awarded! When is the last time flight line was revised to make it easier for the user to interface with it, you know, so you can simply put a bid in in simple English? It's not a ridiculous point at all? Wouldn't you want it in plain English so that its more intuitive to bid? I think it's ridiculous that you wouldn't want it better! And that's all I'm saying, why can't these PBS software programs have a better interface? If you really are against that, then you sound like those pilots that don't like any change because it makes them uncomfortable, you know, like those people who didn't want to use the Fms.
