Bubbers,
True but pilots should also know their automatics as its use under some circumstances maye reduce the workload when the crew need it the most.(bad weather,low vis,busy environment)..
Disconnecting all,all the time for little reason is all good and dandi but is not always the best way out.
Ps :no idea how to spell 'dandi'

I have done many missed approaches because of no ground reference and have never used TOGA because of passenger concern.That is how a professional pilot handles his airplane. It isn't hard to do a go around without scaring the crap out of everybody.
So when you perform your soft go around not to worry those pax of yours,what thrust do you use to retract those flaps?
Flying in a different manner that the manufacturer recommends all the time for some dodgy reason not to scare your pax,and you call that a reason of professionalism?get out of here.
