I've spoken to some new guys that say (paraphrasing) 'I just want to sit on my couch at home and do training on the IPad' thus the yes vote. I'm a no vote, pre 2012 hire.

Many of the old timers here are battle axes. I wouldn't paint them all with such a broad brush. Based on some of the stuff some newer guys say praising PBS, this group may be more divided than many people think. Forums aren't a good representation of the pilot group.
