glass makes pilots lazy, old shool methods are better, because tech fails at the worst time.

I respect your opinion but, I whole heartedly disagree. Having more information easily accessible makes for safer pilots. I'm not sure why it would make you lazy. The glass panels are presenting the same information as a six pack (in a different format). It is still up to the pilot to process and use the information. If you have a six pack and add a GPS unit, you have basically the same amount of data as a glass panel. As for reliability, I will put my money on modern electronics over vacuum pumps and mechanical gauges any day. Thanks for your comment and for watching.
