Couldn't agree more with Crit Winge.
The modern day jets are designed to be flown with the automation, with pilots 'supervising' and programming. Why should the operation's overall safety level be degraded just to satisfy the pilot's desire for personal satisfaction. You've just got to compare the human errors when hand flying with 'george' operating - eg. level busts.
You guys that want to hand fly all the time, why not go to your local flying club and hire a Cessna? Or find a job on a 727? Nobody is forcing you to fly a heavy, modern jet.
