I don't think a pilot's logbook says much about his ability.
Is a 15000 hr captain better then a 5000 hr one?
Is someone with 15000 landings a better pilot then someone with only 3000 landings?
Although experience can be valuable, it's certainly NOT a guaranteed factor to judge a pilot!!
And even though I'm a big advocate of keeping hand flying skills and raw data flying up to date, I still think that to be a good pilot nowadays means that you have to be a good systems manager (that includes being proficient in manual handling) with excellent crm skills!
The number of landings or hours logged (imc or not) is no guarantee for being a good, safe pilot.
Now allow me to suggest to get back to the topic.
If you want to continue talking about the use or not of automation during flight, I suggest you to revive this topic I once started:
Your airlines' policy about the use of automation during flight?
