I am having the same problem with the leadership at where I am located. It’s very frustrating, I just look and shake my head. The leadership here has thousands of hours and has lost the perspective on how the students learn. It’s easy for a person with that much time jump in a G1000 and fly with no problem. Just imagine a new student and how he/she would react. They have no idea what it means and how to use it. They expect the student to just pick it up. It just makes me feel better that I am not alone in this.
