But getting back to my point, why did you become a Pilot ?
To watch automation 99% of the time ?
My initial motivation was and remains the simple delight and satisfaction In accurate, smooth hand flying
That may be your motivation but the motivation to start an airline is not to give you thrill but to make money by safely transporting people. So as I said before manual flying should only be done to acquire/maintain the skill to enhance safety and not for any other purpose.
