Therein lies the problem. With such lack of currency, our company recommmends full use of the automatics, to free up extra capacity and situational awareness. When on the back of the clock and with a little fatigus thrown in for good measure, hand flying a raw data approach is simply unwise.
The dog chases it's tail effectively. Lack of currency = full use of automatics. Full use of automatics = lack of hand flying proficiency.
It's not an Airbus problem nor even a Boeing problem. It's how we train and learn to merge
safely with the machine.
In my experience you can't expect a few words of wisdom from an Airbus VP to do more than identify the problem with the help of pilot boards like this.
My opinion is that once identified the problem needs to be addressed by the regulations and not voluntary individual company SOPs
