I see Ont.tech's point - it's kinda similar to the view of ex-Soviet/Aeroflot pilots who could land a plane in all weathers (and probably drunk) because the equipment they flew demanded they be on top of their game.
That said, the loss of the GF A320 and the recent JAL discussion shows that technology is causing CRM to far surpass flying proficiency as the area of primary concern on a flight deck.
