I agree with some of the sentiment that crew are overly reliant on technology but I think the onus is very much on skippers to lead from the front and show the younger folk who have started their careers directly onto a bus or a 737 that manually flown visual and instrument approaches are straightforward and rewarding - even more so without auto thrust and flight director. If the junior crew observe nothing other than AP in at 500’ and AP out at 500’ then they will copy. If they see competence and confidence in AP/FD/AT off operations they will strive to achieve the same.
