Never was I discouraged to handfly on the line.
Agreed, that's simply rubbish. Ok, there might be a time and a place for it and you should always take account of the PMs workload, but today, both approaches flown by the FO were completely manual. When I was an FO I was never discouraged, just told to brief it. Nothing wrong with that!
Perhaps your friend (Denti) isn't very good at it and is being discouraged for other reasons.
