A legal side
Our company accepts that flying with automatics out is required to maintain basic skills but appears unwilling to support the pilots in this. My assumption is that they just seem to be absolutely sh..t scared about any legal ramifications resulting from an incident. I have had to learn which guys I fly with are happy to let me turn the lot off and those of which are not. The look of death I've had from a few at the suggestion of turning things off (good conditions, low traffic, radar control, no noise issues) is somewhat telling. Accountants and lawyers both important to an airline but sometimes the pilot groups most dangerous ally!
