"(BTW: I fly 95% of the approaches with A/P, A/T and F/d's off)"
Sabenaboy,
In the congested airport environment, you are keeping your F/O's work load very high making radio calls, resetting altitudes and airspeeds, and running the checklist. I am sure if your company is like mine you back up every approach with the available ILS. So who is looking out the windshield? Not you, you're looking at the screens. Not your F/O because he is because he is too busy with the above.
I can see hand flying some of the time but 95%?
