Or just keep getting EGPWS alerts and using less accurate methods?
I don't see why so many are averted to this practice.

Why would you NOT wish to have all the information available to assist your situational awareness?
Bet this guy wishes he'd believed the instruments and not done a visual:

My first flight into El Paso I could have landed at Biggs field SOOOO easily.

Well, it’s official. 17 month upgrade time From DOH. The first few post-170 hires are upgrading. Amazing. At what other company can you upgrade so fast on an E175 in a domicile that doesn’t suck. This is amazing

There’s a couple on there that are 7-8 mo hires, and NH on the stand-by list. A few of those names are still hanging on the tail sitting in the right seat, but hey 1000hrs of 121/135 means you’re qualified!!
