Airbus has had the effect of weakening pilot skills because they've automated a lot of the day to day stuff...but at the same time, when it all goes tits-up, you'll need those very same weakened skills.

Just a thought.....
As I understand it, this happens when flying manually so you aren’t being “handed” anything, you already have it, you just need to push the stick forward a bit.
