I certainly agree with your comments about the hand flying skills.
On an 8 hour atlantic sector how much time does a pilot actually fly the aircraft ?, 5 mins, bit more bit less ?.
How out of practice do you get after 5 or 10 years of just systems management ?.
I know some commercial pilots fly light aircraft for fun, but how many dont ?.
I think all commercial pilots should have to fly a manual light aircraft and fly some aerobatics at least 5 hours a year.
