I have found that the "standard" has slipped over the last 20 or so years. Newer system operators have a good but academic grasp of SOP. However they are poor below 200 ft. Ground shy. Overcontrolling. No feel.
Thus the system operator jibe. I would say the vast majority are not stick and rudder pilots as they have never had to be.
