Perhaps the problem is partly because 'airmanship' is a dirty word. Airline management would rather spend the training budget on CRM and situational awareness courses, (both very educational, but rather long-winded), than make simulator time and line-flying time available for skills enhancement. If the idea is to employ a newly graduated MPL holder and make him/her an 'assistant flight-deck manager', which is obviously at low cost to the airline, then airmanship and basic skills will become a thing of the past. Look at the runway incursions, the attempts to take-off from a taxiway, the number of poorly flown final approaches and deep touchdowns that result in overruns and just maybe the emphasis on CRM skills should give way a little to teaching good basic skills. But then I'm a Dinosaur!
