Poor guys. Now they have to go work for a jet operator that has glass.
I don't know anyone that learned how to fly using only all glass. Even at riddle they have 6 pack training despite most of the fleet consists of glass. It's not a hard transition either way. Don't get why people get all high and mighty about one over another.

I just don't get what is so hard about the six pack, it gives you the same information. I fly both regularly and prefer the round dials, to me its simpler.
BTW... Start class Oct 11, anyone else in the class feel free to pm and get in touch.

A six pack requires a larger scan. Some newer pilots were never taught how to scan. The field of vision to see the instruments in a glass cockpit is much smaller so a pilot can get by with a lack of a scan. In a six pack, this lack of skill is magnified greatly. That's where the problems happen.
