I flly with a retired airline pilot and he is similar to the comment about not being able to trouble shoot an audio panel. The other night he gets the flashlight out to read the FMS. After about 10 minutes of observing this idiot, I ask him "why don't you turn the lights on". He looks like a deer in the headlights and I reach over and turn the panel lights on. "Thanks", he says. The company makes this guy a co-captain, but he can't figure out how much fuel the airplane holds.
I'm not for auto-retire at 60, but there needs to be a way for evaluating.
