Pineteam, you really need to take heed - like it or not, the incident rate when pilots try and fly raw data is very much increased - and even hand flying might well be inappropriate in busy or complicated departures and arrivals. Great that you get kicks from flying still, but your workplace with several hundred paying customers is not the place to indulge your kicks. Get an aviation related hobby to do that - aero's, gliding, etc - they almost always make a good pair of hands, who find the transition to transport jets very natural.
