I still would like to know of those 2900 hrs how many were flying and how many merely monitoring an autopilot.
Assuming that this pilot fly only long haul .. and taking an average of 8 hours flight for each trip
Assuming that the pilot fly manually (generous here) ten minutes after take off and ten minutes before landing ( I'm being generous as it's already almost impossible he perform all take off and landings) .. this gives a manual flying experience (at low altitude) of 120 hours!
