The discussion here is of academic interest only and probably belongs in another thread on automation. The Operator in question here does not allow the use of manual thrust, or raw data, at all. Mistakes can be career ending. I fly almost 1000 hours per year and the last thing I feel like after a 15 hour flight arriving at my circadian low is to prove my mettle by challenging myself to a manually flown approach.
Address those issues first before calling the pilots lazy.
