You are all most welcome on the thread I began in 2009 http://www.pprune.org/safety-crm-qa-...-aviation.html which covers these very dilemmas, and since July 2009 we have seen many unfortunate examples of either over-reliance on automation or lack of understanding of it.

PEI - I cannot see how you could contemplate the Airblue crew being 'head down' - it would be MOST unusual at around 840' AGL, especially with 2 calls of visual contact with features! It puts a whole new meaning to 'cojones' (or whatever that is in Urdu..............).
