As i mentioned before some Airlines ,at one point ,came out with the directive that 'handflying'should be encouraged in low traffic density areas.Due to the 'poor' flying skills demonstrated in the Sim' with the Autos unavailable.(a320).At one time JAL requiered their 'junior' pilots to Handfly the 767 to an Alt' of 5000'???
Co's pay for the Magic,and want crews to 'know' how to use it.
There comes time though when one must disconnect,now its only in the Sim'..Some Capt's(training )should 'lighten' up and let the Junior people Learn to handle the heavier equipement.
