For a... is this your idea of a joke? Weren't we all supposed to realize it before being let loose on mighty C-152?
As for topic of the thread; if there's indeed problem with LR pilots losing their manual flight skills, only cost-effective solution is to get them to fly more simulator hours. For practice, not for checking. Mind you: cost-effective doesn't imply it's cheap.
However, as I don't see many LR-pilots-lacking-manual-flying-skills events listed on ASN, I have my suspicions about this diatribe being sales pitch on behalf of simulator producers.
