I have experienced F/Os with little 'handling' skills; who are LOST without the coloured line on the TV screen in front of them showing where they are and where they are going; who CANNOT have the background with which us older pilots grew up.
Now, that's just plain naughty, BOAC, and I can't let it pass. I sat next to you once, in a-200, and when I asked if you'd mind if I flew manually, you quoted some stuff about the flying manual requiring a dual-channel automatic approach. I seem to remember pointing out to you that the FM also said that pilots were encouraged to practice their hand flying.
As such, this FO flew a manual approach without FD, and the subsequent ILS and landing were "without incident". Be careful who you "diss"!
