Maybe it's just the Garmin they can't handle. Garmin has nothing in common with any other FMS. I'm guessing the autothrottles are adding to the confusion. These guys haven't flown autothrottle in 10-15 years. Or maybe they're just too old. Fact is, the old guys are failing Latitude Initial. Ask around.
Don't forget. At 75, they're about 10 years away from their kids taking their drivers license away.

Almost everybody that I talk to calls them "autothrottles"....except maybe Airbus Drivers
It´s just semantics
By the way, Gulfstream calls them "autothrottles" as well.

You just don't understand what they've gone through in their lives...and remember, they really really like money! You'll be there someday too ya know ;-)
Take a VSP (whatever package they put together) OR Exam by Doc.
We'd drop 500 pilots in 6 months.
The amount of guys who have a BS medical is off the charts.

Someone complained to the FAA and 2 people were sent by the feds who should have failed and of course he rubber stamped them. He lost his AME over it.
Now while that is not directly NetJets' fault...the management has actively turned a blind eye to the health of our pilots. From the food that we are fed, rest, gym memberships, anti-smoking campaigns, to Medical Exams.
