It works fine and might actually help someone new and behind the plane catch up a little and remove some tunnel vision instead of constantly changing speeds on the arrival or worrying about when to slow to 250.
CE-650 and the E175. Not a lot of experience compared to others, but enough to have an opinion on the topic. Obviously, you are the automation on the 650, but it handles well when descending and slowing. The 175 is worlds better at descent planning with its VNAV.

The bus will say you’re on profile then you cross the fix 120 ft high. I guess that’s the airbus standard though.

I hesitated to reply but thought I would add this for those seriously tracking hiring information. I have an in-person interview this month and do not have an ATP; I have passed the written. I am one of those guys that was waiting for sim slots living in a hotel in north HOU at ACEY when covid hit. Went home and went back to the computer industry where I came from.

If I have an R-ATP certificate but less than 1500 hours will I be considered?

You should have all requirements fulfilled for an unrestricted ATP incl. TT of min. 1500h. Of course nobody can say for sure, it is just IMHO. You may apply and find out. There is nothing wrong with that and I can't imagine even if not considered it would have a negative impact for a future updated application. Anyway, good luck!
