I agree.
Was the guy who planted the 757 into Newark 2 days back low houred?
Dunno. Maybe he had a lot of time. Maybe all of it, save 30 seconds per leg, was AP on. Who knows?
My point is that Tenerife's CRM issue can coexist with today's hand flying experience issue, so the former does not contradict the latter. (Not staking a claim about the truth of the hand flying issue, just that it's not contradicted by Tenerife and that its truth or falsity can only be established in unrelated ways.)
Like, imagine for example that we're in a world with a recent rash of high profile fuel exhaustion crashes. And someone saying that that can't be an issue because look at Tenerife where they were very well fueled.
