There’s only a very small amount of hand flying basic panel that goes on in your average airline pilots day to day work..almost nothing without flight director even in annual checks. Most of the candidates presenting at interviews are many long years past basic instrument training. With that in mind, most buy themselves a couple of sessions in a sim to bone up, then having got the job, never fly basic panel again, or ever need to. I know the interview process needs to separate out the good and bad candidates somehow but I wonder about the relevance of handflying an 80 ton monster with basic panel sometimes
