Well, that is entirely different than saying it is instruments, but isn't that the case with most new people at a regional? Heck, you describe me when I was a newhire at a regional, but I had no issues. Wasn't until IOE that flying a jet for the first time, every takeoff felt like I was riding on a tip of a spear. And in my case, thank goodness I played flightsim a lot, made learning the automation easy. Thank you PMDG.
