As I'm an Avionics Technician, I found your last post shocking.
That said, I don't disbelieve you either. There are numerous
slips of standards for EASA Licenced Engineers too.
I can appreciate there will be a few F/O's out there more inclined
to engage A/Ps & A/Ts quicker in various configurations. But, I wasn't aware that big outfits actually encourage or 'train to monitor automatic flight only'... That really is wrong.
I'm disappointed actual flying proficiency standards under EASA have dropped too. But as Graybeard has mentioned, more losses seem imminent unfortunately.
