Funny how difficult today’s crews find flying. Back in the day the sim session would often include no airspeed or compass information (E2b available) All came down to flight deck management (crm not invented) have the pm act as a talking autopilot e.g roll wings level now, set body angle to, thrust set, etc. Of course this assumed both of you had been taught to fly the jet properly in the first place. (Handling the big jets a good start) yes I know back in the day etc but doing an initial IR using a Relitive Bearing Indicator certainly made sure you could think & fly. Weeded out those that couldn’t.
Then Airbus & Boeing decided to dum down flying to automatic everything & so no more pilots just system operators. Classic own goal which has lead to too many deaths despite over all a reduction in the accident rate.
