The biggest problem I see, (Note: I am not, nor have been a CFI) is that many first jobs, other than flight instruction, are in steam gauge AC. Barons, Aztecs, Navajo's, etc. If your lucky like I was, you could be flying Lear jets down to mins on the sixpack. I think all students need to learn "old school", plenty of time for the glass later. This automation is, while progress, I fear to the detriment of the next generation of Pilots, and ultimately the flying public.
