Veteran techs who hate digital testers are causing real problems

I've seen it too often. A senior technician will mock the new screen-based systems and stick to his old meters. This attitude trickles down to the newer guys, who then avoid using the best tools we have. Just last month, a plane was delayed because a manual check overlooked a fault that the digital unit would have caught. It's not about experience, it's about refusing to adapt. Management lets this slide because they don't want to upset the old guard. But in our field, that's how mistakes happen. We need to push for everyone to get on board with new tech, or we'll keep wasting time and money.
