The "double-v" in VVMI was seriously lacking in the cockpit with some crewmembers, and I would hope that bringing some standardization to the line would keep us from creating more "ops day"-like situations. Sadly, the whispers I hear around the sims during recurrent don't really reflect that.
I agree to a point. When some dude is just finger blasting the box and not saying anything it kinda sucks as I have to watch and figure out what he is doing like I was in Jr high again.
So if ATC says slow to .75 and I put it in there do I really need the guy to tell me to execute what we were both just told? Is it so irreparable that there is no way we could fix it beofre it's too late?
routes matter as fixing a mistake can take a bit or not catching one could be bad.
Everything else could have said " hey verify with the FMA it did what you wanted it to do, silently".
Guys are just blurting words out to act like they are doing it. No one is paying attention still.
