Go to You Tube and listen to this, a typical MIA or FLL overnight soundtrack:

1) a few MD-82s flying -- round dial, no LNAV/VNAV
2) some MD-88s arrive -- glass, but no LNAV/VNAV yet
3) MD-88 LNAV/VNAV installed, but not authorized for use
4) LNAV authorized for use
5) VNAV authorized for use
6) MD-82s retrofitted with glass and LNAV/VNAV
It sounds like a training hodgepodge, but this phased upgrade was fairly easy, as you first flew "round-dial" and then got used to one new capability at a time. It was also a good deal to attend school in Long Beach instead of ATL.

Or more curl up in a fetal position surprised they survived watching me ham fist that side stick like a drunken gorilla with a banana. And oh crap... there's that ding again... he thinks he's better than the autothrust, too.
