Yeah, I fly in multiple, class Bs everyday at work and what you said isn't true. A few years ago my operator was negative /G for a week due to someone dropping the ball with database updates and you could hear ATC groan every time that one of our aircraft checked on frequency. Our pilot proficiency was fine but VORTAC flying decreases deartire and arrival rates. The reality of the situation is that the only place ground based NAVAIDs are used is for ILS approaches. No one has time for that VORTAC or ADF BS in busy airspace, it's either GPS or ILS.
