A suitable solution would be regular manual flying sessions in a simulator every month or so but that costs money.
Alternatively, the current sessions could be reviewed and amended to significantly reduce the amount of wasted and unproductive waffle that occurs in LOFT exercises and that includes such items taxiing long distances, talking to the mythical cabin crew, mythical ground crew, mythical ATC. After all this, requires the pilot to be actors and few us can act. Time saved would then permit manual flying sessions; including repeats of stuff up's that are inevitable for those lacking manual flying skills.
