i encourage it from my f/os all the time as i have had fmc failures a few times in the 737 ng and some guys fall apart till they have done it hand flown raw data and raw nav as well, i try to hand fly and raw data on my first and last day of my work week and that seems to keep my skills day and night and in all winds. i think any captain scared of letting f/o s to fly raw data shouldn't really be in that seat!
helps with interviews as well!!!( who said that)
