Scary

However a crew who is properly trained will be able to revert to raw data procedures without losing his situation awareness.Lets not blame it on the A/P.
However awareness may be degraded due to system failures(Flights after loss of both Generators),(ATC is there for you!).
Flying a raw data full procedure with the A/P does give you an extra brain power to increase your situation awareness by spending some of your neurons cross checking your position instead of using this time/effort flying manually.

I hope they got extra training, this performance should ban them from flying the line again until proven they can manage it after extra sessions.

Complacency is not all due to A/Ps but crews personal will to stay at a level required for safe flights.
Airlines must check basic skills before allowing pilots to fly their aircraft.
