I despair at my company. Every time I ask the F/O if he/she would like to do some hand flying they make excuses and bottle out. When I (CRM) ask if they mind if I have a play, it's again, a load of excuses, such as too tired, or weather's not perfect... or they'll report me!

Not banned in the manuals, but generally they're too frightened of FDM or more specifically management's response to FDM if they have an event.

I come from TP and GA and have hand flown smoothly and accurately all my 30 years at the controls. Never an issue till I landed at this company. (won't be here long if I can help it!). UK operator. B737/B757.
