I guess this is a waste of time but in my 23,000 hrs my airline never required me to be on autopilot and monitor it 95 % of the time and only take off and some times land manually. I always hand flew enough to know I could do what the autopilot quit doing. These two couldn't and what they did by pulling up into a full stall shows what automation does if you don't maintain basic flying skills.
