its unfair to blame the new pilots, it depends on the training they have recieved, two completely different schools. One stresses the manual flying and raw data skills are necessary in case everything goes wrong on a dark a stormy night in a bad place, the other one thinks that the the autopilot is more accurate and allows for a less stressful "management", of the flight deck and the chances of you having a failure in modern aircraft that you are without a autopilot are virtually non existent.
So blame the instructors
