I'm pretty low-hours and fly for the big orange airline, and not once has a commander insisted I keep the automatics in until 300ft... in fact, possibly the most used phrase since the weather has improved has been "if you want to finish visually, it's fine by me..."
What has FDM got to do with visual approaches? It doesn't matter what type of approach you do, if you do it properly you won't be flagged up on the FDM.
Anyway, I thought this thread was supposed to be debating the merits of the CTC Wings scheme. Could anybody explain what this "I get to do more hand flying than you" willy-waving contest has got to do with anything?
