Which is why, I suspect, most of the older folk have a view that pilots should be competent at

(a) playing a nice tune on the FMS AND

(b) raw data stick and rudder things AND

(c) all likely combinations in between.

He/she who is not able to address such requirements risks an unpleasant surprise, sooner or later, when the appropriate set of holes lines up one dark and dirty night .. and bites the offender on the tail.
